The operational costs to an airline are FUEL and salaries. Even if the aircraft if totally empy, they will end up paying about the same amount.

And paying passengers offset those costs.

"And this airline just lost our business. Not just for a single flight, but all flights in the future."

Eventually, every airline is going to have this policy. Sorry, but the manatee community is going either pay double or diet.

Yup, and that is why SouthWest Airlines just lost a huge chunk of cash.

The solution to this problem was rather easy. Install larger seats!

But instead, the morons want to dictate to people and make more regulations.

I wish them luck, but they will NEVER see my business again.
