Pay What You Weigh on Airlines
I’d previously written about “Pay As You Go Models” and said, half-jokingly, that the idea could be applied to airline passengers where they could be charged based on their weight.

Although they’d never do this, for an industry which is hemorrhaging money, every penny and pound helps.
