I have family members and friends who will be charged for two seats if this insulting rule is allowed to stand.

So your agenda is clear. You want your friends and family to not have to pay for what they use. Because they're fat, they want special considerations and protections, lest anyone "discriminate" against them. Gee, where have we heard this before? The gay rights movement, the feminazi movement, etc.. etc.. You and your kind just want their "free ride" like those other "special interest" groups.

Well, I for one am sick and tired of having to pay for OTHERS "lifestyle" choices. Get over it. Either pay for what you use, or don't fly. It's that simple. If you require two seats, then pay for two seats.

Next thing you know, you're gonna start blaming the car manufacturers because the suspensions on the cars of obese people give out under the strain faster than other people's cars.

Everyone wants their "special rights" ... I'm so sick and damn' tired of it.

The tone of your response comes as no suprise at all-typical of rabid killer chihuahuas.

Being far from perfect myself, I can only imagine the agony experienced by such a perfect individual living in an imperfect world, among imperfect people and worse yet being expected to compromise comfort, both physically and financially to accomodate other's disgusting flaws.

"Free ride" can be defined in many ways-I don't believe charging equal fares to all human beings is one of them.

Sorry to hear you are so sick and damned tired. Try a big dose of empathy and maybe you will feel better in the morning.

Maybe SW air should skip this controversial interim solution and go directly to Body Mass Pricing. Adjustable seats could be installed that could be moved apart on tracks. A patron's airfare would be based on the volume of space his carcass displaced in the cabin. A uniform rate per cubic centimeter would have the effect of equal pricing per passenger. And the whiners would stop having their costs subsidized by others. And the thinner folks could reclaim their comfortable verticle airspace.
