I have no problem with requiring morbidly obese passengers to buy first class tickets, or buy the seat adjacent to theirs. This could also apply to very large people who are not obese. That said, the airlines are going too far in cramming in passengers. Even an average sized 200ish pound guy doesn’t really fit within the confines of a coach seat. I pay for my seat, and I’m not willing to share.

i dont mind passengers paying more due to weight

however the airlines are stacking the deck in their favor to do this by the long term trend of shrinking their seats

this is another angle of same or higher prices for smaller food item quantities in the supermarkets

they want to benefit more because they are at the same time, shrinking the seats. its hardly the case they can plead they are being neutral or concerned about fairness.
