Any rational person would understand that you can't put two humans in the space of one.
Where was he supposed to sit? Underneath the morbidly obese passenger next to him?
In the Flight Atendant’s seat. Or the jump seat if you will. Up front. By the door.
Not the best seat in the house. But better than sitting with a fat slob. And certainly better than standing.
Now. I understand “they” told him he couldn’t sit there. Against regulations.
So the question is... should he have taken that like a good stupid sheep? Should he have made a stand - and possibly get arrested upon landing? Should he stand for 9 hours?
I would have pushed the envelope. I would have caused a scene. I would have gone far - but not TOO far so as to not get myself in trouble.
And every minute I stood. I would have LOUDLY made comments.
But that’s just me.
