Seriously though... This is a lose-lose situation for everyone involved here. There will never be a good solution, just a best one. Wasn't it just last week where Wesjet said only obese people with a proven disability causing the obesity would only pay for one ticket, and others without proof would be buying two? What this reaks of is wesjet unable to determine what obese people actually have a disability so they now require a doctors note, but the doctors are unwilling to take the extra responsibility or open themselves to wrong interpretations/litigations. I don't see how this will overburden an already strained medical system, though there will probably be some people who will try to take advantage of this and be denied because they aren't obese enough.

you realize that muscle weighs more than fat, right? So fit, muscle bound people should pay extra to fly to accomodate the pencil necked geeks or the malnourished meth addicts
That's just stupid.
