The news article highlighting the Virgin Atlantic case brought some incredible things to light (for me):

1. Seems America has another "association" - National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance.
2. This association has taken it upon themselves to stop "discrimination" against fat people by the airlines!

Where does it end?!
Honestly, I'm sorry for the few folk who have no control over their weight due to a medical condition, but the chavs who chow down on Maccas 24/7 need to have their stomachs stapled. Either that, or eat properly in the first place. An airliner toilet is cosy at the best of times, but I cannot imagine using one if I weighed 120kg+, let alone trying to get into or out of seat D/E in a 2-4-2 cattle class.
