As a (private) pilot, I can tell you that weight is a big issue. The center of gravity has to be in a very precise spot otherwise there is absolutely no control over the plane. Additionally, with all of those hams on board, the weight of the plane is significantly increased, meaning the pilot has to land faster. And too fast of landings can have dire consequences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FedEx_Express_Flight_80. On my plane, I have a strict no-ham policy. I definitely don't envy airline pilots who deal with hams that weigh as much as the plane itself. Pilots already have to redistribute fuel through various tanks as it burns to maintain the center of gravity, which is complicated enough. And then to have to deal with a plane full of hams? No thanks. In short: I'm a pilot and I hate fat people on airplanes.

My first rounds of flight lessons were cheaper than average at my flight school : I was the only guy who could fit in the Tomahawk.

That's funny.I had the first round of my lessons in a Diamond DA-20, another plane those blubbermooses wouldn't fit in.

Wait. wait. so they didn't remove the fattest first? that underlines precisely how their brains work. we need to cull them.

Yeah... I would've been one of the people to volunteer to get off that plane lol... no way I'm gonna die in a plane crash because of fucking fat people. Glad you made it home safe what a shitty experience that must have been.

I haven't flown for a number of years. Is it really getting to the point where they have to come up with a plan on dealing with these people? Isn't this the textbook definition of your fat fucking ass impacting other people's lives? Fuck these people. I've taken the Greyhound bus a few times over the last few years...surprisingly few hamplanets.

I had something similar happen. I was on a boeing 717 (~100 people) which was at half capacity and we had to make a family of whales migrate from the back to the front because the center of gravity was too close to the center of lift.

Thank you for naming the plane.

They should not be allowed to fly. They are cattle. Relegate them to cattle trains.
