Keeley

The Keeley (SI unit symbol, E, formarly ELK) is the base unit of mass measurement within the civil aviation industry. It is defined as the mass of one Emma Louise Keeley at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

Usage

Within the civil aviation industry the Keeley is an adjustment factor to modify cost of fare against passenger weight as to more evenly distribute the cost of service. Standard aircraft fares are displayed assuming a mass value equal to one Keeley. The weight of the customer divided by the Keeley is said to be Keeley Adjusted. This value multiplied by the cost of fare is the Keeley Cost for the potential passenger. If the Keeley Adjusted Factor (eAF) is greater than or equal to 2.5 the potential passenger is required to purchase an additional seat. If the value is less than or equal to 0.75 the potential passenger is force-fed a sandwich.

History

The Keeley as a unit was thought up by extremely sleep deprived laboratory technicians on a slow Monday.
