I dont think he should have boarded the flight in the first place-admittedly he already knew that he normally bought 2 tickets...the flight attendant probably made her last sweep and saw he was crammed in a space way too small. Usually the gauge for this is- Does the arm rest go down? Maybe she noticed it first and THEN the person-as they are trained to look for certain things before the plane takes off-Just like seat belts and overhead storage-purses under the seats.
ALSO, since it was a standby flight you have to assume there was a passenger sitting next to him..what if that were you??? Flying is not the most comfortable thing in the world in the first place, but why should you or anyone else be uncomfortable because something was infringing on your bought space?
Why cant it be as simple as that? Why does it have to be some preconceived sinister plot against over-weight people? I think he and everyone else is making WAY to big of a deal about this..Southwest is not the only airline that have policy for overweight passengers!
