If they are catagorising weight by title they will need Miss, Ms, Mr, Mrs and MF.

And the rest - Don't some people these days self-identify as Mx, They, and God knows what else?

It would be safer to assume there's a fair chance that anyone claiming their title is Mx weighs at least fifteen stone in their boiler suit!

Makes you wonder which offshoring outfit made that slip up.

Fortunately no self respecting contractor would fly Tui

Using wrong titles

“A programming error in the software used by UK airline TUI to check-in passengers led to miscalculated flight loads on three flights last July, a potentially serious safety issue.

The error occurred, according to a report [PDF] released on Thursday by the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), because the check-in software treated travelers identified as "Miss" in the passenger list as children, and assigned them a weight of 35 kg (~77 lbs) instead of 69 kg (~152 lbs) for an adult.

The AAIB report attributes the error to cultural differences in how the term Miss is understood.”

Imagine what would happen if MF uses Ms by mistake?
