Mr. Hill weighed 435 pounds.

OMG that is almost the same as 3 grown men.

They are referred to COS’s, customers of size.

Oh give Southwest a break. They are the best (cheap) airline in the business. If someone is going to spill into the next seat, and cost the fuel of three, then I see nothing wrong at all with charging for two seats.

If you want to be overweight, fine with me and the nanny police should leave you alone. On the other hand, there are costs associated with obesity - don’t expect me to pay for them.

THREE grown men? Most “grown men” weigh somehwhat more than 145 lbs. I weigh over twice that (and yet I fit comfortably in a single SWA seat).

I think you mean three VERY SMALL grown men.

Closer to two grown men. A man 6’3” and 230-240#, and in decent shape, can easily fit in a seat without intruding into the adjacent seat.
