You cant help being old, a different race, a different sex, gay etc but fat people deserve it.

How would they measure 'fat'? Would it be by weight or by girth or what? Would you have to bust out the tape measure and scales when you're checking in or would it be at the discression of the person behind the desk?

They wouldnt. It's complete cow pat! Each passenger boarding a plane is put into the equation as a set weight on the load sheet. To say 'ooh look s/hes a fat one lets charge him/her' would be discrimination.

It's not going to happen!!!

i don't think it will do much tbh, fat people will just use another airline.
