Anyone flying any distance likes to be comfortable, including me. I am of average height and weight and I have often had to sit next to large, even fat people, and it makes for an uncomfortable experience for both of us. Maybe Kevin could have fit in the seat and even put the arm rests down, but I bet part of him extended over to the person sitting next to him. That's where it gets uncomfortable, in all ways. The person sitting next to the large person is severly overcrowded and has her space invaded. As many of the Southwest flights are full, my husband and I get our seats as early as possible and offer the seats next to us to people who I would not mind sitting next to. It's not nice and maybe not fair, but I paid my money and want some comfort on my flight. My sympathies to large poeple who have to travel, so maybe if they do not want to be discriminated against they too can get an early seat assisgnment, maybe sit in a row with two seats, or if you have the money, like Kevin, purchase two seats.
