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.

I don't see any "fat hating" going on here, just people being adamant about getting what they have paid for. I have shared my seat with an oversized person for the last time. Now that the issue is out in the open (thank you Southwest) I am going to scream to high Heaven if I am expected to do it again.
