And I want to go on record now and say that if I could afford it, I'd pull a Madden and go everywhere in a Prevost coach with a driver...

If you want the real answer... It will be when the airlines think that the revenue generated from charging them extra exceeds the negative publicity for doing so. It has NOTHING to do with passenger comfort.

As a parsailing operation business owner and captain off and on over the last 25 years i have dealt with many obese people in that period.The majority of them female.On average i would fly 8000 people a year.
As we started flying side by side tandems back 20 years ago we had to ask weights of the customers as to work out the balance for the chute .Back then the girls were all mostly skinny and just a few were slightly overweight, and when they told you their weight they may have been off by 10 or 15 pounds.
When i got out of it a few years back almost all the girls were 15 to 20 pounds overweight and were not talking 25 to 30 year old beer drinking girls we are talking 12 to 16 year olds. Many were 50 to a 100 pounds overweight with quite a few in the 250 to 350 range. When you asked them their weight, and we really did not need it for balance issues but it was because they would want to fly tandem with another phatazz friend they would lie by 50 percent. When i told them i can't fly over 550 pounds they would stick by their guns that they were well under it. Well i have flown many fattties 1500 feet behind the boat at about 5 feet off the water at 45mph .It pretty hard to gain altitude when you are 30 percent over the capacity of the chutes ability.
I had to have a special harness made with adlustable leg straps because i ran into so many females with thighs that exceeded the 35 inch girth of the standard harness that i would try to suit them up and than break their fatazz hearts by having to peel the thing backoff from them after it would not go past their knees.
This country is out of control with all these fatazzes
