I think it is likely offending some on this board when you compare humans to cargo or mail. This policy is going to make a few heavy people very wealthy if they can find a skillful attorney.

If they don't like the way an airline does business, let 'em Vote With Their Feet.

You are your own cargo when you fly. Those easily offended should get a life. BTW, United has been doing this for some time.
I pay more for clothes because I need extra long, fitted ones. Am I the victim of discrimination? No. It costs more to make them and they sell less units. Doling out 2 seats to one person means less units sold, and a revenue penalty for the airline. Airlines are a business, just like clothiers. Neither has an obligation to enforce an egalitarian market at their own expense. If you want that you can move to Cuba.

I'm sure Mr. Wingfield did not intend to 'offend' anyone, he was just trying to make a point and I think he made it well! Lighten up.
