Airlines and aircraft manufacturers have been debating different ways to deal with fliers’ expanding waistlines, but a spokeswoman for Hawaiian Airlines tells FoxNews.com that it has not implemented a policy of weighing passengers before all flights. “This action resulted from the recognition that over time our fuel burn on Pago Pago (PPG) flights was consistently much higher than projected, indicating that our weight assumptions were inaccurate. Contrary to existing reports, Hawaiian says it has performed the weight survey on other routes. Hawaiian Airlines has been flying the Boeing 767-300 aircraft to American Samoa since 2003. The DOT says that it is currently investigating the complaints against Hawaiian Airlines to determine if any type of discriminatory practice occurred.
