Fatass needs to start her own airline that will cater to her and other fatass cows.

She must be pushing for substantial aisle expansions in wide-body aircraft, or in jumbo-jets, to accommodate the morbidly obese passengers.   (I'm wondering, if those planes were completely filled with those wide and heavy passengers, would they really be able to get airborne?)

She is the problem not the airlines.
Did she buy a ticket for only one seat?

They should charge her a fuel surcharge. And also make her buy two seats.

As a skinny guy who has to deal with these fat a$$es brushing into my space on a plane, I feel I should be entitled to some kind of consideration for my trauma.

Right on! How about aisles six feet wide and two columns of seats at 40 inches each. It would be a real money maker!

If I were the captain of a plane she was on, I would absolutely deny her boarding. She is a danger to the other passengers - not only because she would block the aisles and overwing exits in evacuations but I doubt the seats are designed to operate correctly in emergency conditions under that much weight.

An air carrier with a takeoff weight over 300,000 lbs is classified as a HEAVY. Just saying.

You don’t have to be plus size to agree that the aisles are too narrow. Maybe jets for international flights are roomier; I’ve never been on one, but I always feel like I’m in a tin can in an domestic flight.
