Claim this is an issue of comfort all you want...I might agree. Claim this is a safety issue al;l you want. I still might agree but not until you remove all people needing a cane or a walker or someone who is blind or deaf or does not understand english (even outside of the exit row)..oh and don't even think of boarding someone who is in a wheelchair. All also safety issues to the same degree as someone of size. And a weight and balance issue??? No...I used to be an airline load planner. Southwest does not fly small regional planes. It's an all 737 fleet and unless the plane was all fatties, the weight and balance won't have an effect. But I guess if the plane were all fatties, everyone would be kicked off...
Southwest...I support your policy if you stick to the policy.
