I couldnt imagine someone that weighs 400 lbs in a seminole, let alone a 172! I think the guy at ATP was out of line saying they could do that, but imagine the trouble they would be in if they DID have a published weight limit for students! I dont understand why you guys think the school is wrong for canceling a flight for obvious safety reasons.

They gave the guy his money back, Im sure appologized because they dont have the proper aircraft to train him in, and sent him on his way! I guess Im just missing the problem here.

I doubt ATP ever said he wouldnt be able to get an airline job. They require a 1st class medical to begin the program... Maybe the FAA should be sued for discrimination? Or... maybe we should sue Cessna for putting weight an balance limitations on 172. While were at it, lets also sue ATP for requiring their aircraft take off with full fuel!
