The future of flying

From this angle, you can’t really tell how fat the fat person is. And honestly, if they are so fat that they cannot fit in to one seat, they should have to pay for a second seat. Can you imagine if it’s a packed full flight and the last two people to get on the plane are massively overweight, and neither one can fit into a seat and they’re supposed to sit next to each other?

Fat people problems

Reminded me of a Jimmy Norton bit on the old Opie And Anthony radio show, where Jimmy opens the door with his own problems flying on flights with overweight people.

Audio NSFW.

Did you see how she was smiling through the whole confrontation?

Yes. Years ago, I used to go out drinking and I noticed girls and women who were drinking heavily would end up getting highly intoxicated before starting trouble - i.e., - picking, mocking, laughing, etc. at someone. They were cruel and mean for no reason other than getting sh*tfaced.

And they get away with it. Imagine a man behaving that way like that feral woman in the plane.

X Who got away with it? The woman in that video got strapped down to a gurney and kicked off the plane. I don’t know what happened to her, but she definitely missed her flight. She was dragged away, kicking and screaming. She belongs in a sanitarium.

There's some YT videos where some airline pilots are giving their opinions: one said that, soon after take-off, the co-pilot might have accidentally retracted the flaps rather than retracting the landing gear. Because in the videos, you see the flaps are up but the landing gear is still down.

It's a bit like that Korean airliner disaster (on Jeju island ?) where, after a birdstrike, they make it down but didn't lower the flaps so the plane pummeled into a wall at the end of the runway. Not related, I know, but it shows the importance of flap position both during take-off and landing.

Folks, regarding Air India 171, it seems now that the flaps up theory has been put to rest. Some pilots are now saying it was dual engine failure. Possibly due to something called vapor lock.
