Some people are missing the point here.. His size wasn't an issue, he met the airline's requirements of their size limits the arm rests were down. The real issue here is they treated a paying customer like dirt and once they realized that the chubby guy has an rather large soap box and audience who will listen they tried to cover their butt (and done it very poorly). People complain that he is just another celebutard who thinks he should be served on a silver platter. No he is a guy who thinks about the average person who is screwed with day in and day out who doesn't have an audience and takes their lame ass $100 voucher to pay for their public humiliation. He knows he is fat, he is the 1st to admit it, any one who has seen him do an interview or speaking engagement knows he makes fun of it all the time. All he is saying is that he hasn't exceed their rules for single seat flying yet, if and when he does he says he'll be the 1st to make jokes about it or deal with it. It kills me the people who are taking SWA side, have you never been screwed over by an airline.
Skinny people may stay skinny, but sooner or later you'll get old. maybe you'll be refused entry because the airline refuses to assist you to your seat. Or sorry lady, but your kid appears to be too hyper, and we'll have to ask you to leave the airplane.
You're a private company, you can create any rules you wish, but you should respect those rules. You screwed up, lied trying to cover you're butt and now your customer base will be skinny people who cant stand chubby people. Well since north americans tend to be on the heavy side, 2 out of 3 are chubby, I suggest you start a really cheap line of fitness clubs across america so you can retain you customer base.
NWA = North West Airlines or No Wide A$$es.
I'll be taking my skinny A$$ business else where thank you.
