Why is everyone attacking this guy? Attack the dumb airlines that often have armrest that cant be moved back. He wouldnt have to sit on it if he could rotate the F-ing thing back. The airlines have horribly designed seats.

I agree. I’m a big guy, 6’5” and Defensive Tackle sized. I have been flying United because they have extra legroom in the front. Some airlines (not United, though) have started having armrests on aisles able to go up, which really helps alleviate the situation. Yes, I’m overweight, but I’m also tall. If I were 6’ with the same proportions I’d be fine.

Airlines are at least partially to blame for this as they have crammed more rows into the planes and made the seats narrower to fit more people on smaller planes.

I would also pay extra for a class that maybe had business class seats with no service. I don’t care about free drinks or meals on the plane, but I’d pay extra for a wider seat and more legroom.

I travel for business and am also subject to the rules of my company, so the best I can do is focus on one airline that will give me upgrades quite a bit. Believe me, it’s no picnic for anyone involved in this situation.

Because he's a fat, worthless f*ck who cares nothing about his own life or his family's. He'll eat himself to death while in the process forcing others to subsidize his meds, his healthcare and possibly his funeral. He is a selfish glutton and parasite.

Right. . . .raising the arm-rest would make it easier for fatso to intrude upon the hapless guy next to him.
