One of the great things about being a US citizen is the continuing right of fighting to be free of all forms of discrimination. This is the latest form of discrimination. I hope that Kevin Smith has his high powered attorneys sue your corporation for blatant discrimination, because he has the means and the forum (the average citizen doesn't possess) to fight your discriminatory poilicies. Your explanation of protecting customer comfort is disingenuous at best. I had to sit next to a man with a 2 year old child in his lap on a SW flight. The child bumped and hit me constantly during the flight. I didn't see anyone stopping this man from flying with his "extra weight" on a completely full flight. The child was not strapped in on take off or landing. Why isn't THAT a safety concern? If weight is a concern, what about the 6'5 guy that weighs 225 lbs, but it consists of muscle? Is that a safety risk because he is too heavy? And what about the leg room issue? What about people not being able to have enough leg room and they get blood clots? Your company is making a big mistake in this area. The issue is continuing to become a hotbed of debate. It's best that you reverse your policies for your own protection because you will continued to be sued until there is legislation passed protecting the rights of this class of people. Be the good guys, get some good publicity and be ahead of the curve. REVERSE your discriminatory policies!!!
