"It does not have to be used in a judgmental or insulting way: if a child is obese then the parents should know that its obese.

There are double taxiing lanes feeding into the terminal's gates, enabling arriving planes to approach jetways without waiting for departing planes to clear the path. Architects installed cleaning-supply closets at the gates to assist flight crews in maintaining a fast 30-minute plane turnaround time, and JetBlue hopes that each gate will turn over 10 flights daily, compared with an average three flights...
