I could see the airlines considering it they obviously have issues with people on weight and appearence when you look at some of the stories over the past couple of years. How would they charge -- you would purchase your ticket based on your weight (drivers license) and they would have a scale at the ticket counter just like for baggage and if it's more than you said there would be an upcharge just like you baggage. I doubt there would be a discount if it was less!!! Sad to say but, we are just baggage they haul from one place to another give us a little food and drink so we shut up and don't bother them, and now we won't be getting that.
