I spent twenty years flying several times a week on business. Often crowded by overweight passengers. Once flew a 4 hr leg sandwiched between two fatties. It's about time.

Weight and balance...tail-heavy is bad mojo.

Back in 1991 when we were to return from the UK from a USAF contingency hospital for Desert Storm, everyone and their personal baggage was weighed. I was one of the first in line, was weighed then given the job along with several others of weighing everyone. We had to carry over uniforms, some civilian clothing and all the chemical/biological warfare clothing/equipment and it was amazing what a small nurse would weigh with all that stuff.

That’s the problem. Too many Americans are tail heavy
