Reply to: 'Fat' holidaymakers asked to move

They shouldn't allow fatties on trains. Make 'em walk! Fat bastards always decide to sit next to me - or more correctly, take my seat as well and crush me against the window in the process

How much extra do you have to pay for that?

I think the seat pitch is 28".

Not sure on the number of seats as I can't get the info in time available. However, this should help:

Boeing 757-200 (201 seats)
Boeing 757-300 (243 seats)

Thanks! Now I can sleep at night

How many seats is there in one of those "Babies"

how many cock pits do they have?

[steve'O]

Yeah - it's nasty! I think in a Monarch branded jet the seat pitch is very low (as in not a lot of leg room).

Have you ever tried to "spread out" in a commercial jet ??

who ate all the pies....who ate all the pie's...that fat fu*ker did, that fat fu*ker did!!!

A fat lass was put in the seat next to me, and I started giggling when they were trying to get the arm rest to go down.

Stewardess gave me a right dirty look, which made me laugh out loud.

I then got a right ticking off and was "asked" to move.

Which was nice (I didn't fancy sitting next to some fat b4st4rd anyways).

Funny, that's just what she said!

Also, if the aircraft is lightly loaded surely the passengers would welcome the chance to spread out...

It's a bit of sensational non-news really. The plane was a B-757 that can carry around 240 passengers - 8 fat b'stards are not going to make too much difference to the CofG (centre of gravity) on a commercial jet of that size.

However, if the flight is running a very light fuel profile and ALL the passengers are in the back of the plane then this may affect the flight handling characteristics. It's simply a case of getting the passengers to fill the middle of the plane.

This is more important in smaller aircraft such as KingAirs, Twin Otters etc where this unfavourable weight distribution can adversely increase the stall speed and effect the a/c attitude, or the CofG (centre of gravity) .

Or perhaps is was the 8 tons of Doughnuts and assorted cakes an fizzy pop thet these fat bastards were eating at the time. Now would that adversely increase the stall speed and effect the a/c attitude??
