Here's what's likely going to happen:

The Surgeon General has ALREADY defined Obesity as a "disease". Hence, someone will file, and likely successfully win, an Americans with Disabilities Act lawsuit agains Southwest, for discriminating against their disability.

Then again, I **STILL** think seats in Cattle/Sheeple class are too small. . .

My wife is very FAT, but also disabled after an auto accident. Personally, I am looking forward to this lawsuit.

This reminds me of a meeting I went to last week. A speaker from another no-frills airline spoke at this meeting. She told us that after Sept. 11, Southwest only had to fill something like 25% of their seats to break even. United had to fill 91% of their seats. This makes me curious if the major airlines, like United, will follow suit.

I recently flew Northwest to Mississippi. The seats on the Airbus were SMALLER than the seats on the AVRO RJ, the little jet that flew from Memphis to Gulfport! Each airline has differing seat belt sizes as well. I had no trouble with the belts on N'west, or Delta, but I had to get an extender on American on a flight a couple of years ago. Sir SuziQ's belt was snug on that flight too, and he's relatively thin!
