Hawaiian Airlines Under Investigation For Weighing Passengers.

Fox News reports that the men say in their complaint that they were assigned to different seats on their flight out of Honolulu.

A Hawaiian Airlines spokeswoman said that the flight was part of a survey period in which the airline weighed all passengers traveling traveling between Hawaii and the American Samoan capital of Pago Pago. She said that the airline has not implemented a general policy of weighing passengers.

Spokeswoman Alison Croyle said that the airline has conducted similar surveys on other routes, and all were conducted in accordance with FAA protocols. She said that seat assignments were changed to assure the proper weight distribution in the airplane.

If the Department of Transportation discovers a civil right to keep a plane’s load unbalanced, we might all be safer driving or taking a boat.
