there are lots of factors that go into airline travel pricing, and volume is absolutely one of them. that's why they keep cramming the seats closer and closer together. So if a 6"6 person has to pay more to fly they should at least get more space than a 5" person.

This article is about weight.

Not true.

so you're saying that a 6'3" person and a 4"2 with the same body fat% weight the same?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No but I will say you are doing a good job moving the goalposts. The article is pretty about weight

Overly reductionist and unhelpful. They asked a legitimate question and avoiding it because you don't agree or like it for some reason isn't helpful.
