Seriously—Kevin Smith? SOUTHWEST??? The “big ghetto bus of the sky”?

I don’t have a problem with SW’s general policy.

I do have a problem with them enforcing it selectively with seemingly no objective standards.

I have been on flights sitting next to people whose girth pushed against me the entire time, so much so that I had sweat stains on that side. Just because Bob can squeeze into a seat does not mean he has a right to space I paid for.

To which Delta, American and United responded: "Noooooooooo!"

Maybe the airlines need a test seat at each gate just like they have carry-on baggage size checkers.

If you can fit in the seat without triggering the spring loaded arms, you only need one ticket. If one of the arms lets loose, you need too seats.

The guy buys two seats, gets one seat when HE initiates the change, gets booted with $100 returned to his pocket, and now complains. The guy is a lunatic.

Sounds like Smith would have gotten his two seats if he had stayed on his original planned flight. But he wanted to fly earlier — he had no earlier RESERVATION — and just expected SWA to have two seats on that flight, standby. Then he bitches about it like a Hollywood primadonna.

Sounds like an easy call, unless I missed something there.

I wish to wholeheartedly endorse this boycott. And yes as a matter of fact I do fly Southwest when I can.

[new cruelty]

Weird. This has to be some sort of gimmic to trump up attention to something related to kevin smith or SWA.

[Martin Tell]

How fat is he?

He's so fat that when he steps on a scale, it reads "One at a time, please."

He's so fat that his bathtub has stretch marks.

He's so fat that he shows up on radar.

He's so fat that he sweats gravy.

Amen!

More room for the rest of us.

“the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance” ? What, I need an association now? ;’)

[applpie]

after reading the comments posted here, i can tell you at least, where kids learn to bully. at home.

In the event of a water landing, you may use Kevin Smith as a floatation device.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I have to say that the airlines are partially to blame for this. Anyone remember how big seats were 20 or 30 years ago? You don’t have to be obese to feel cramped or spill over into your neighbors seat. If you are tall, its a royal pain too. Airlines are flying cattle cars run by flight attendants who increasingly are letting their police powers go to their heads.

How about if they boycott ALL airlines?
