Uninformed people defending SW need to listen to kevin's smodcast 107 it explains SW's real agenda here. Make some extra cash and embarrass the $hit out of people. Kev used two tickets to return home sitting in the window seat, not because he could fit, cause he wanted some privacy. A flight attendant insisted that another passenger a young "women of size" sit in the 3rd seat (isle). The woman didnt want to, she preferred to sit elsewhere (window) on the now near empty plane (she paid extra to board early, there are no 1st class seats anywhere on these flights) but was refused. The middle seat was and would remain empty (since kev owned it). So after the plane was near full and no row with two adjoining seats were made available the SW size cops show up and pull this young lady off the plane and tell her that essentially in the future you'll need to buy an extra seat. Why did they have to do that? She was sharing a "size" overflow seat with Kevin already? Neither of them need it, but SW appears to get off embarrassing people for no apparent reason.
Put yourself in their shoes for one second. People of size me included do everything not to draw attention to ourselves. Are all of your relatives pencil neck thin? I doubt it, and the statistics of Americans prove it. How would you like you mother, daughter , sister hauled off a full aircraft and told "hey you know what you're fat, thank you for flying south west". Everyone on the plane is asking What's going on? Why did they pull her off the plane? Is she a terrorist or is she causing a problem? Does she have drugs? Hey why is she back? has she been crying? And this is a person who isn't famous just a young women trying to get home. Skinny people, do you not find the seats too small for your narrow butt too? Whats next, sorry lady but your child is just making too much noise, you'll have to gather your things and leave. Sorry lady, but your too old, and if you cant put you bag in the overhead by yourself you'll need to leave.
South west screwed up, and thought that Kev was just another fat guy... well he is but with a voice that is heard. The heavies will speak with their wallets as will the fans of "not so silent bob". For those who dont like the masses enjoy your flight while SW still is flying.
