一些乘客认为这项政策具有歧视性,因为它只影响从火奴鲁鲁到帕果帕果一个航线的乘客,而这些乘客中大多数是萨摩亚人。萨摩亚人有着世界上最高的肥胖率。
Six complaints have been filed with the US Department of Transportation since 29 September, as reported by the Economist.
据《经济学人》报道,自9月29日至今已有六份投诉提交至美国运输部。
The department ruled in favour of the new policy, with airline officials claiming an even distribution of weight could prevent a crash landing.
但因航空官员称重量平衡分配能够防止飞机事故发生,运输部裁定投诉无效并对此项新规表示支持。
Hawaiian Airlines said it had conducted a voluntary, six-month passenger weight survey on the Pago Pago route, starting in February, asking all passengers to be weighed along with their carry-on luggage.
夏威夷航空称从今年二月份开始,公司对帕果帕果航线上的乘客重量进行了为期六个月的调查,对所有乘客以及他们随身携带的行李进行称重。
As a result, the airline scrapped seat pre-selection only on the American Samoa route because the other flight routes surveyed, for example in Korea and Japan, showed no evidence of excess weight.
最终该航空公司只取消了飞往美属萨摩亚航线的座位预定。因为根据调查,飞往韩国和日本等地的其它航线并未出现任何超重现象。
