Weight on Airlines

Hi Humans,
Did you see on the news today that an obese movie director made a fuss because an airline would not allow him to fly in one seat because of his weight? All I can say is that if I want to fly in the cabin, my carrier case and I together can not exceed 20 pounds. Now from his appearance on the television, my guess is that you could fly a dozen Chloes in his place and still have some pounds to spare.
