It sucks but it's absolutely reasonable. It's shocking to me that you think firms shouldn't be allowed to charge more to cover greater costs.

  I think the idea is not that they shouldn't charge to cover their costs but that they should raise all prices and spread the cost out over all passengers. You shouldn't be punished for being born a certain way. If you choose to be a way that costs extra then it is reasonable to charge you extra but not if there's nothing you can do about it.

    I think either way punishes people for the way they're born. Making everyone pay the average cost means shorter people are paying more for fuel than they're costing. Heavier people are paying less than they're costing. So the shorter people are subsidising the larger people.

      Tall people will spend more on food/pay for leg room upgrades. etc. My point being you could argue about this for ever. At the end of the day the decision is would you pay an extra couple of $ per flight so that everyone can afford to fly or would you rather save a few $ but a number of tall people can't afford the ticket now? And even for the ones who can do you feel like the result is just/fair? There's no right or wrong (unfortunately).
