Fat people
should pay more. I have seen people that should be required to buy an entire row. Instead, these Jabba the Huts end up wedging themselves into the seat next to me so I have to spend an entire flight with their sweaty ham hocks encroaching into the seat I paid for. Why should I have to suffer because these people have spent their life gorging themselves while getting as little physical activity as possible? These are the same people that park in handicapped spaces, waddle to the electric carts at the grocery store then make a bee line for the ring ding aisle. They should lose some weight, buy two seats, or don't fly. Put down the twinkies and ding dongs and get some exercise.
(not that I feel strongly about the subject)
BTTT!
And I LOVE Southwest, only airplane I flew for years. Never late, always polite, and at 6’1” (height-weight proportionate), was typically able to get the rows with more leg room. (Now I won’t fly because of TSA jackboots, but that’s another story.)
My brother recently had to fly in after his Marine mission, overseas to the US, squeezed in by a Jabba on a United flight. He had to spend much of his time standing and talking to the flight attendants, because otherwise, he would have had to sit crooked (and into the aisle) the whole time!! They felt sorry for him and apologized, and only made him sit when required. But how ridiculous.
