Set airfare by passenger’s weight

I find it amazing that the airlines are trying to add all kind of charges to the airfares. The biggest problem the airlines have is the cost of fuel. One of the problems with aircraft is the more weight you have the more fuel you burn.

If the airlines wanted to do it right they would charge according to how much an airline passenger weighs. I think it is a fair way of charging passengers. If you are thin you pay less, if you are obese you pay more. This way the airlines can recoup their cost for fuel instead of a fuel surcharge and all the other fees.
