Would you fly with this airline that charges by the pound of you and your luggage?

Lol. I'd rather buy one if I had the money to spare xD

Definitely, as my luggage is incredibly light.

Not sure how these guys would stay in business if they were to expand from Philadelphia

This is great. It looks like they really are trying to do something to make a difference. not only are they carbon neutral, they also are trying to deal with one of the biggest problems facing the US, obesity.

I would defiantly fly them for their efforts & also cause I weigh around 70kg and usually only need a few pairs of cloths and my laptop(20kg).

If they were in the UK I would. It means you pay for exactly what you use.

Brilliant idea. Now people can feel motivated to shed the pounds in weight to avoid shedding pounds in cash. xD

Seriously, if this makes it as a business model this could work really well for both the company and the consumer. I'd fly with them, and I think I'll keep an eye on them to see how they do in the future.

Brilliant idea.

Its good. They care for the environment as well as on us. They are indirectly asking us to be slim and fit.

 

[kkenny]

That's not fair. I have a lot of muscle density, and muscle weighs more than fat. Lol me goes up to airline agent, and breaks the scale.

I'm not sure how many of you read the notice at the bottom of the page "The Derrie-Air campaign is a fictitious advertising campaign created by Philadelphia Media Holdings to test the results of advertising in our print and online products and to stimulate discussion on a timely environmental topic of interest to all citizens.

Why are they pulling my leg? I don't understand the joke...

 

[galaxyAbstractor]

You know it is a research?

 

[Submariner]

Too bad it's just an advertizing gimic, the idea seems valid...

I don't see any leg pulling through this! They were testing to see how far spread an idea could get out.
