I'm a frequent flier (~1000 flights in the last 5 years). I'm an averaged sized passenger (6ft 200lbs). People on here have literally lost their minds. Most of the people who are uncomfortable with sitting next to a fat person would never in a million years want to hurt someone so savagely as to kick them off a plane for being overweight. That is what you're doing. SW wouldn't have this policy if their customers didn't demand it.
While this sounds really lame it is true. Fat people are our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. Someone in your family is fat. Now take that person and presume they need to get to a funeral. They never fly. You are going to call them out for being fat in the worst moment of their lives?!?!?! For being fat. Really.
You can't just look the other way? You can't grapple with someones' flab for an hour because you paid for your seat? Many of the frequent flier's posting on here don't pay for their own flight anyway. Their company does. Get a grip and quit acting like you have the moral high ground. Most people given the choice would not be so fat that they can't fly.
A little big of flab touching you for about 55 minutes will not kill you. I don't care how much you paid for your seat. Forget about encouraging fatness, or who paid for what seat. Fat people are your family too. Quit acting like you're going to die by sitting next to a fat person. You are small brained, compassion less jerks.
Southwest is only responding to public demand.
Public quit being such jerks.
