Passenger and baggage need to be weighed separately for plane balance. Though that can be done on the down low if you assign seats as they board.

I saw that a lot in the military. Was kinda nice.

I really don't think clothes weigh 10lbs... I only take off about 2lbs when I weigh myself with shoes on. But maybe I just dress like a skank :)

My boots weigh 5 at least.

Nah, I dress pretty conservatively and they still only weigh about 2 lbs with shoes. Imagine, if you will, that you have to buy an entire tent to be able to cover your massive rolls. Weigh more, and your clothing will also weigh more. They probably have to make those fierce tarps out of canvas, and wax it to prevent grease stains,

Whenever my fat mom weighs herself she always takes off at least 7lbs for her clothes... and I'm always like, mom...no...

You could weight the plane itself. That would either be expensive (per-parking spot scales) or add delay (one scale each plane must visit before and after passengers board). Then we could get at how much the fatties really cost to fly around. And hopefully charge them in full.

I was wondering how widespread those systems are..
[–] journalistsarelazy [S] 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago
I say we weigh them at check-in with a klaxon for overweight and flashing lights, then charge them per pound.

The other way is averages, but they seemingly haven't been updated in a while. Scary shit really.

No way are fatties going to report their tonnage accurately. My experience is that most never weigh themselves anyway because Muh Triggerz!!!11
