To make the pricing fair though they need a cost for the physical space that you are occupying.

Some of those costs are fixed though for the flight. ie. no matter the weight, the airplane still needs to cover the distance and they need to pay a pilot and crew. Why should the overweight man pay a greater share of the pilot's salary? He should only pay a greater share of the fuel burned and possibly a greater share to account for the fact that he gets a bigger seat or more legroom.
