I'm with you Free Fire Zone. I've been in the middle seat flying out of Phoenix in August between "two persons of size". It was the MOST unpleasant flight I have ever had. I confess I am 5'2" and about 100 lbs, but the seats in coach barely fit me! It's insane to put 200-300 lb folks in them! My brother is over 300 lbs and he flies first class on all flights. Claims Alaska has the biggest seats...

So by your own admission, you don't even fit and you are practically underweight! So you are admitting thier seating is inadequate for even an average, scratch that underweight, person. I think capitalism should rule this, but more average people who are uncomfortable on thier flights should be walking away with thier wallets as well. This type of pressure will demand more appropriate sized seating which will not only benefit the heavy person, but you as well.

I was just watching the episode of twilight zone where William Shatner played the man scared out of his wits by the gremlin on the wing(probably early 60's) and the average size seat looked better than first class now! But, we have such a fat hate in this country that people close off all rationality on this issue because they sit thier stuck in thier high school mentality of "hee hee, let's pick on the fat person". Damn, it's threads like these that make me ALMOST want to admit that the left have a point when they call conservatives mean spirited bigots..ALMOST.

100 pounds and coach seats barely fit you? You must be built funny! I weigh about 240 and fit in a coach seat just fine (and no all my weight is not in my head...)
