Airbus Chiefs Acknowledge Size does Matter After All

Whilst women have often denied it to save their partners embarrassment, Airbus has finally concluded that size does matter after all.





In a move that is likely to cause widespread embarrissment amongst flyers, Airbus has confirmed it will be offering Airlines the option of fitting extra-wide seats to the A320, so that the Airlines in turn can charge fatty passengers more.

Sometimes referred to as 'McPassengers', Airlines are receiving increasing numbers of complaints from customers of  'rollover' -where an oversized passenger's body invades someone elses seating space.

Airbus claim they can help alleviate this problem, as well as increase an Airline's profits. Their proposal is to increase the central seat's width by 2 inches, allowing Airlines to charge more for occupying these seats.

You may ask 'where is this extra space coming from?' and you would be right to. The unfortunate answer is -they are reducing the width of both the aisle and window seats by 1 inch, making them harder to fit into.

Airlines have welcomed the opporutnity to make more money from fat passengers, but have yet to confirm whether they will be reducing the charge for the others seats that have reduced in size. We would suggest not holding your breath for an answer.

Campaign groups have condemmed the move saying it would cause significant embarrissment for anyone occupying the extra wide seats; they fear that the ancient Celtic anti-fat chant "who ate all the pies..." would be replaced by "whose taking all the space...."
