News Item

From CNN, a story that Air India is grounding overweight flight attendants("hostesses" as Air India calls them), but not pilots, co-pilots, etc. They want their hostesses to look like this, but apparently it's OK for their pilots to look like this.

Excess baggage, anyone?

Great Idea. I think we should issue plane tickets based on weight so that we buy our share of fuel and space

Kevin - I can see weigh-ins like jockeys or boxers: instead of economy, business and first class, you'd have lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight.
