Are extra charges made by some airlines for obese and tall passengers fair?
 

Just a Thought!

Avoid the bleeding edge of technology, use last years best. Early adopters of technology are usually unpaid beta testers.

There is no such thing as an emergency take off.

When you are calculating your engine out glide and landing speed assume your aircraft is at its no fuel weight since that is the most common cause of engine failure.

Bad ideas that are completely ridiculous pose no threat, it is the bad ideas that contain a seductive bit of truth that are the dangerous ones.

When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky.

Asking what a pilot thinks about TC is like asking a fireplug what it thinks about dogs.

Johnny and his wife went to the State Fair every year. Every year Johnny would say, "I'd like to ride in the airplane." And every year his wife would say, "I know, Johnny, but the airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars." One year Johnny and his wife went back to the fair and Johnny said, "I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance." "That airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars.", replied his wife. The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you. But if you say one word it's ten dollars." Johnny and his wife agree and climbed in the plane. The pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They land and the pilot turns to Johnny, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't." Johnny replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when my wife fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

Whether you decide to fly or drive or climb or go on a fairground ride or cross the road you should acknowledge you are taking a calculate risk and use appropriate precautions, but not hide from or ignore the reality.
