Some airlines does this, is this discrimination or do you support it as the more you weigh, the more room you take up. The more fuel the plane will burn etc.
is this just common sense or is it way too unpopular.

That's discrimination. It's a Tory idea if ever there was one.

@Crazychick Anytime, we had a co-worker who was 2lb UNDER the weight where you needed to buy an extra seat, you can bet everyone helped him lose weight.
