The Height Flight

The highly sought after seats on the height and weight bell-shaped curves are a result of cultural biases that basically say, Most of you flying coach (in the middle) are safe. Our first class members (tall and thin) will be catered to, premier. But those of you who fill in the tails of the short and fat ends, perhaps you'd best fly stand-by. You, we're not so comfortable with.
