Wow. I always go out of my way to fly SWA, but after this incident I will go out of my way to avoid SWA. I am overweight, although not as large as Mr. Smith, but still fit easily in one seat, no seatbelt extender, with the arm rest down. I fly often. I've seen photos of Kevin Smith and this man most definitely should not have been removed from a plane for being too large. I've seen countless people flying on SWA much larger than Mr. Smith, in one seat. But, if it can happen to him, it concerns me that it could happen to me as well. How humiliating. Since SWA has come out and said his removal was indeed justifed, I'll definitely be avoiding the risk of such a situation in the future by flying another airline.
If he fit in one seat, without a seatbelt extender, and with the armrest down, he never should have been removed. Shame on you SWA!!!
