Let the autistic screeching start. "Sorry, we are going to need to change your seat. You are too fat to sit there".

From the post: "Remove your shoes. Take your keys out of your pocket. Step on the scale?

That’s right: New Zealand’s Civil Aviation Authority is asking that its national airline weigh passengers departing on international flights from Auckland International Airport through July 2, 2023.

The program, which Air New Zealand calls a passenger weight survey, is a way to gather data on the weight load and distribution for planes, the airline said."

Yeah, Interestingly its just for a survey it looks like. Also, gate attendants wont be able to see your weight and neither will you. There is no display attached and the data goes straight into the survey system.
