I have always flown on SW air and at one point in my life I was 350 lbs and I needed an extention to close the seat belt. On several occasions I was allowed to move to a vacant part of the plane so I could sit in two seats. Other times the attendent had to help me get the seat rest lowered. At no time was anyone rude, nor was I ever asked to leave the plane.
Based on the way Kevin is milking this incident for every ounce of public recognition I suspect that he was rude and there is more to the story than he is admitting. I have lost over 100 lbs and the seats are still smaller than I would like (but then again so are the seats in the local playhouse). I have a solution... since he is so famous... let him fly first class on another airline and buy two seats there. He has always had that choice. I assume he did not use it because two seats on southwest is still cheaper than one on other carriers.
