This is a little known treatment for hemorrhoids. Works like the pulverization treatment for kidney stones. It's the main reason I hate aisle seats.

I was sitting in a seat by myself while my family was on the other side of the aisle for a 9 hour flight.

As the rest of the passengers boarded, a fat flabby family boarded. All I could thing was "Please God, let them sit elsewhere"

Well, they say God watches out for drunks and fools. I wasn't drinking but I got covered by the other half. They sat further aft. I suppose the flight engineer had to recalculate the CG for the AC. If this keeps up, they will need a complete system of ballast tanks.

As it was, with them aft of the MLG, we hit V1 at approx 20 MPH.

Look like Michael Moore.

That arm rest is severely stressed.

It is used to relieve Mr Moore's piles, also in distress by his dear

Speaking of weight and balance, imagine a cargo plane.

It is full like an egg, the weight right up to max gross.

Now look at a full passenger plane.
It is actually empty space by 80%
the weight never more than 30% of gross.

You can have ALL the passengers piled up in the tail cone or
against the cockpit door(like they actually did in that Saudi Lockheed L-1011 that went toast) The airplane is still within it's center of gravity limits.

You calculate a cargo airplane C of G very carefully...a passenger plane is only an imaginary formula
that satisfy regulations.

It all will have to change with the proliferation of these

THAT is why some airlines are requiring obese passengers to purchase two seats.

Quit yer sniveling fatties! There's luggage size and weight limits--their ought rightly to be an ass size and weight limit too.
