I have flown Southwest several times a year for many years. I'm 5'9 and 170lbs. While it is inconvenient for me to sit next to an overweight person who "spills" into my seat, I would never rob them of their dignity. I can tolerate a short 1 hr flight. What I will not tolerate is this company that treats people the way they do. Tomorrow morning I am selling my stock, and I will no longer fly Southwest. That is unless one of two things happen: 1) Southwest attendant Suzanne and/or Captain Leysath publicly apologizes to Mr. Smith, on camera at a press conference so she can feel the shame that she cast upon Mr. Smith, 2) Southwest revises its policy about overweight passengers, to dedicate 10% of each flight to oversized people.
Since I'm fairly certain that neither of these things will happen, I'll just say - "See ya Southwest. Nice knowing you".
