Airline now weighs large people before flying
People are NOT happy about this.
An airline has brought in a new rule where passengers are weighed at check in and seats are allocated to "manage weight across the cabin", and one passenger is apparently furious after being weighed and then allocated a seat in order to "balance the aircraft".
On one particular route, there's no more pre-seating because the particular country has a high rate of obesity, with up to 74.6% of adults considered obese.

With fierce competition between airlines in current times, would you fly an airline that does this?
I have to say that I wouldn't because it makes me wonder what's been happening all these years?
Does that mean passengers have been unsafe if the aircraft hasn't been balanced before this weighing process began?
