Southwest-- I don't believe you owe "fat boy" any apologies. I've sat next to "large" or "plus" sized people before and it's not fair to us to be pressed against the window or out in the aisle because of these morbidly obese folks. He may have been able to "fit" in one seat but it would have been interesting to see the responses from those on either side of him. I know I always get nervous when I see large folks heading towards my row.
If you think about it, you really don't want these oversized folks as customers anyway (they eat all the free snacks so the rest of us don't get any). Please don't bother with anymore apologies. What's a guy like him flying you guys for anyway? Shouldn't he be on a different airline in First Class and not in cattle class? Don't take that as a ding. Your airline serves its purpose. You've got more to worry about losing former passengers like me to Virgin America.
Oh, and Kevin-- instead of sitting in front of a computer ranting and raving, you should be on the treadmill or going for a nice long walk. I guess you want to try and keep the story going to get some attention. Enjoy your ho ho's.
