Given what REVman2 has discovered about their fleet, this is far from suprising. What is also far from surprising is the way the media will use this example to create a ridiculous story about how it might be coming to an A380 near you...

I do wish people would understand what the word discrimination means, though. This is clearly discriminatory in the sense that passengers with different weights are treated in a different manner, but that doesn't mean it's unlawful...

Every time I choose a new employee I am discriminating against the other candidates but as long as I don't discriminate in some defined ways then it's not only lawful, it's normal!
