I have been doing my own little statistical survey with regards to passenger weights. Each flight, I take the manifest and have a little flutter with myself as to whether I will be the lightest person on board (NS is dull). Generally, over the last year I would say that in 8/10 flights discounting the very small folk, the P2 and some of the ladies, I am generally the lightest on board. I'm 6'1" so not that small. Obesity is a ticking time bomb for this country and particularly in Scotland. Building an aircraft to house obese passengers isn't the answer although a spacious aircraft both front and rear is a good thing. The employers and the personnel have a real responsibility to put a brake on this health epidemic. I have worked offshore so I know the temptations and the pressures that make the lifestyle a pretty unhealthy one and I'm not saying this doesn't apply to quite a few of the crews as well. Sorry to interrupt the slanging match...
