I'm a 5'7 female and 300 pounds. I have flown many flights on Southwest. I liked them because of cheap fares, and their bags flying free when so many other companies overcharge you just to bring your clothes and things with you on trips. I have no problems getting the belt around me - never had to ask for an extender or anything. I ALWAYS take a window seat so I can stay up against the wall just to make sure I don't bother anybody on tiny planes. I don't get up and go to the bathroom while on the flight. I always wait until a flight change or I get where I'm going. I bend over backwards to make sure I can't possibly be in anybody else's way, or cause any problems. Yet, I'm paying to be there. I'm paying for their service. And Kevin Smith even goes a step further. He buys an extra seat! Here we all are, going out of our ways to make sure we fit into YOUR plans when we're paying for your service. How about you go a little bit out of YOUR ways to make things easier for ALL of your customers? You're so worried about the idea that some fat person's chubby belly might touch somebody hanging over the armrest. How about worrying about inconveniencing and embarrassing your local customers of size? I think that from now on I will just shell out the extra money for the flight and send my fat people clothes ahead of time to avoid such treatment.
