“Using that logic, the could force every single passenger regardless of size to purchase the unused seats on the plane, not to recently,”

Uh ... the vacent seats and the vacent baggage room IS already paid for by the customers they have - it’s built into the pricing.

Which is why they just don’t give it away to someone who wants more then their paid for share.

If that was the case, then they assumed that had unsold tickets, and had already passed that cost on.

So, as a skinny guy, if I happen to have an empty seat next to me, I should be forced to pay extra? The airline could argue that I am getting more then my "fair share", by having empty seats next to me, they could use that argue, logically, that I should change seats so as not to have empty seats next to me.

I could not care less about this fat guy, its the way they did it, and the motive and the logical next steps that bother me.

Everyone is looking at this as a fat guy taking up 2 seats, I look at this as an airline forcing a passenger to buy another ticket, when it wasn't necessary, on a reason that does not apply to this case, and seeing future oppurtunities to do this other people (who are not fat or whatever).
