I doubt this will lead to reliable numbers then. Heavier folks will be more likely to feel ashamed (which is unfortunate, but probably true).
- londons_explore 3y agoI don't see a reason to do a survey at all if participation is voluntary. Results will be off by 5% or more, simply because heavier people won't volunteer. And if the airline is fine with the result being wrong by 5% or more, they might as well just taken the average weight of 5 people in the office.

- unsupp0rted 3y agoThe goal might be to normalize weighing all passengers and upcharging by weight. I’m for it.
