Next move by the airlines: 12 inch wide seats.

[I Buried My Guns]

It is only fair in light of the extra fees I must pay for a second bag. My bag weighs, what, 20 or 30 lbs?. I daresay a fat person needing to pay an extra fee is gonna be at least 150 lbs heavier than an average human, and pour over his armrests like flesh-colored pudding.

I don't want to pay extra for that person, and If I know a carrier welcomes fatties with no penalty I will not fly on them, as I consider sitting next to a person who, in effect, occupies not only their seat but 20% of MY seat an affront.

Simply put, we pay for space.

What would it do to mileage or fares to make the planes 14 inches wider. 2 per seat and 2 in the aisle?
