Your person of size policy is total BS; you say that it is for the comfort and safety of all passengers. Lets talk about comfort. If a so-called "fat" person buys two seats there is no guarantee that they get to keep the extra seat that they purchase if the plane is at or near capacity. So, aren't they still negatively impacting the comfort of the poor unlucky person who sits next to them? Also, in order to truly not impact the comfort of the persons seated next to the "fat" person, they would need to puchase three seats, sit in the middle seat, and have the two extra seats be empty. So, I have to call BS on the comfort issue. Next security, I guess you are talking about the "fat" person putting the plane over some magical weight limit that will suddenly make the plane unsafe. Again, you charge the "fat" person for the extra seat but you still will fill the extra seat and fill the plane to capacity. I don't see how this is more safe. Any way, I do hope that Kevin Smith goes on Oprah and bad mouths your airline some more and if you know anything about Oprah her words make or break products. Hopefully, it hurts the Southwest pocket book a little. Maybe that is what you need to put this absolutely arbitrary and foolish policy in perspective for you.
