Lots of people get elective surgery in countries where it is cheaper. There is a big business in Caribbean for this. If the seat belt does not fit it is not discriminatory.

Marv's Neighbor Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Too big for business class but "moved to economy?" WTF kind of measurements did they take? UPS or FedEX would be happy to take them. Not too big to stick an airbill on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF kind of measurements did they take? UPS or FedEX would be happy to take them. Not too big to stick an airbill on. Because Business Class was probably booked solid... Their fat was spilling over onto other people??? Yes... Economy smaller... But maybe they can take up 3-4 empty seats??? Or... They needed to load plane better and stabilize things. I mean... Planes just can't load unlimited. Like the Ferris Wheel or swings at the amusement park... Gotta be balanced? I know as part of the flying public, I want a plane that is balanced. Especially, being "fish food" over the water. LoL... Place them like checkers across the back of economy? It would be terrible if these ladies got their way and they lost 100+ passengers in the Gulf of Thailand... At least have a fighting chance to reach the Java Sea! Which ones do you think the sharks will eat first? I know they gotta be hurting, embarassed, etc... But it's a plane with lots of other people... They are flying commercial. Saving all that dough going to Thailand, charter a plane... Poof! There go the medical savings!

How many times have boats and barges come through your system that are overloaded, spewing filth and hydraulic oil. Yet you wave them through without so much as a "Quick Memo" or photographic evidence. Here's one of the vessels that you let through despite the pollution it has caused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the article. The Business class seatbelts have integrated air bags so extenders can’t be used. They moved them to Coach because the riffraff back there don’t warrant air bags.

Can’t have them going off at weird angles and hurting other passengers though. Airbags can do serious damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
