As published this week by the New York Post, airlines could start weighing passengers before boarding very soon. From the Federal Aeronautical Administration they assure that the weight of the passengers is a determining factor to adjust the flight parameters. Without a doubt, if approved it would be a measure that users would not like anything, but the organization defends that the figures that are they are currently driving are out of date. According to those responsible, obesity rates, especially in countries like the United States, are now much higher than just a few years ago.The organization wants to measure the weight gain suffered by the population due to poor diet and sedentary lifestyle, Inter alia. All with the aim of readjusting the flight parameters. Do not forget that all aircraft have a maximum weight allowed. If exceeded, the safety of passengers and crew would be at risk. What are the airlines proposing? For the moment, do random surveys to determine the average weight of luggage, crew members, and also passengers. Looking ahead, it would not be strange if an airline worker asked us not to step on a scale before boarding.There is another option, although much less reliable: to include information about the weight of the passengers in the reservation forms of the passengers. flights to have this information in advance. However, those responsible believe that many users would not be sincere. All airlines already have very stringent demands on the weight of luggage, and requirements on the body of passengers could soon add up.Now, they recognize that this measure could generate insecurity, stress or anger in travelers, so they are looking for the best way to carry it out.According to View From The Wing, airlines could start within just a few months despite passengers before boarding. The Federal Aviation Administration considers that it should be in effect for 36 months to adjust the parameters. In addition, it establishes the aircraft as follows: large (71 passengers or more), medium (between 30 and 70 passengers) and small (between 5 and 29 passengers). And to you, what do you think of this proposal that the airlines launch ?
