airlines / Dateline

And now the airlines are blaming 'us' for higher fuel costs. And the higher amount of fuel burned has a big impact on the environment. I heard this on the news then saw it on the yahoo news page. Here is a link to the Yahoo news page. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=534&e=2&u=/ap/20041105/ap_on_he_me/fit_fat_fliers On a brighter note, I saw most of Dateline. I thought it was very unbiased, addressing the negatives as well as the positives. hope everyone has a good weekend Sheila

Morning Sheila I about fell over when I heard the airlines are blaming obese for higher fuel costs. That's as bad as charging for double seating! I think all of us should band together & kick some ass!!! I thought Dateline was VERY well put together. My dad sat & watched it with me & we had a good talk over the show. BTW he was behind me 150% for surgery. I think it was also good about showing the teens & how it affects them, hey they are kids, not drink pop or eat pizza or chips etc. The young man seemed to adjust better than the girls which I figured it would be the other way around...I was impressed with Al when he interviewed the widow & with his interview with Stone at the end. Yes, all in all very well thought out & put together. Oh ya, the rah rah meeting & the surgeon, well he needed to get in contact with the widow, I bet anything his lawyer said to stay away from her. Have a good weekend Carolyn
