Why should a 300lb neck beard fly cheaper than a 80lb kid if he requires much more fuel to burn? Lets weight passengers and luggage at the gate…

I have worked in Finance for 25 years, and the amount of pressure I had to stand from Auditing on "Why do we have a 20-day-window on applying most updates as we get them from suppliers? We are not best practice!" is gruelling. The

Latin American rowers from many countries train (or used to) at Tiquicaca Lake, in Bolivia. The highest lake in the world. Apparently intense training in a thin atmosphere made them more powerful when racing in richer atmospheres. Source:
