Yep, activist (victimist) groups will be outraged.

Actually, this is a boon for the people of near standard size who pay for a seat only to have some of it taken up by the portly/large person sitting next to them.

Now I wish we could get to work about having a 'crying babes/children section' at the back of the plane with a soundproof curtain!

AS it happens the last time I flew SW Airlines, the flight was 99.9% full. I sat at the very back of the cabin, just in front of the head by the window. The fellow who sat in the aisle seat on the same row was a starting center for an NFL team. Lucky for me, the flight crew made sure that the seat between us was the only empty seat on the flight. (They cater to pro athletes, I guess). That turned out to be the only empty seat on the plane. I don't know what the point of this is except to point out that not all big people are fat, lazy, slobs - some of them are just big people.
