If your body requires 2 seats to fit then one should pay for both seats.

This is not a new rule...some other airlines hold to the same rule.

Even if the seat next to you will be filled by your young child who will not be taking up the whole seat? Sorry homeschool mama, but this instance stinks unless the child is seriously overweight as well(and to serve as a clue for the fat haters, not all or even most overweight folks have overweight kids).
