Maybe airline seats should be wide enough to accommodate fat people.
Airline seats are currently designed only to comfortably accommodate small children and adults with anorexia who have had their legs amputated.
And it’s not like most people can conceivably upgrade to first class, it’s unbelievable how much first class costs. That must be their big profit point, else they wouldn’t keep making First Class bigger and Economy smaller.
If all the seats were wide enough to accommodate the Wide-Americans they would necessarily raise the ticket prices a lot. I have seen an airplane with, I think 6 such seats. It may have been JAL. I think that is a good idea, too, and whether the A/L wants to sell them at the regular rate or not is their decision. The problem is that on an American plane such seats would probably cause “offense” to the differently-weighted citizens who would then sue for being insulted by being assigned that more comfortable seat as if the A/L thought they needed it.
