I say hurrah for Southwest. I pay for an entire seat and all of its airspace. Why should I be uncomfortable because someone else doesn't want to pay extra for the space they take up in any seat? What about my rights?
As for Kevin Smith, I think this whole rant is just to get publicity for his new movie. Due to his infantile behavior here, I'm not going to spend my money to see it.
I wish every airline had a firm policy for 'skinnies' who find they no longer have the full seat they paid for. From what I have been told by flight attendants, they usually can't make someone buy a second seat. The passenger has to complain, the gate attendant comes and checks out the situation, and may make the passenger move and/or buy another seat. If you wish to move and it's a full plane, you may have to wait for the next flight...why do I have to wait???
As for those of you complaining that this is discrimination, it is actually a life choice by you. I'm fine if you have lousy eating habits; just don't infringe on my right to a whole seat and all the air space around it.
