Thank you Southwest....and goodbye. I wish you all the best. But since you are just as expensive or even more expensive than the legacies, why should I continue to fly you when you just devalued my travel but something like 75%? I travel for business and never check a bag....stop throwing that "perk" up to me. I travel short hops on the west coast, it will take me years to get a free flight with your new scheme.
I hear Virgin is nice.

To be honest, if the airlines would STOP squeezing as many passengers as they can into some seats, maybe larger people wouldn't have such an issue to deal with.
The seats are getting smaller and closer together. I blame the airline industry.

We are planning a vacation this summer. We were planning on using Southwest to fly for part of the trip. Three flights, six tickets. I know, it's only $500, but we will now not fly Southwest. We are cancelling our Rapid Rewards memberships and renouncing any credits that have been built up. I have uninstalled the Ding! app on my iPhone.
The policy is unevenly enforced, inconsistent and capricious. There is no way for me to know right here and now if I am "too fat" for your airline. I have never had a complaint, but when I was anorexic, I couldn't fly with the arms all the way down on the old United west coast shuttle. That's genetics for you. However, men with large shoulders or tall people - not a problem, because THEY'RE NOT FAT. People who smell? THEY'RE NOT FAT. People with screaming children? OH GOD NO, AND THEY'RE NOT FAT.
Fat people know they're fat. For every self-righteous person with good genes, trust me that if fat people could just lose the weight, most of us would, because we're tired of having your sanctimonious attitudes foisted upon us. WE GET IT. WE'RE FAT. OH MY GOD WE'RE FAT, and we have the temerity to go outside of our houses and BE FAT IN YOUR PRESENCE.
You have terrified me from ever buying a ticket on your airline because I have NO WAY OF KNOWING if I am Too Fat For Southwest. I will not put myself through potential public humiliation.
Yes, i exercise. Yes, I try to lose weight.

Southwest handled this poorly. From making him leave after he had boarded to ignoring their screwup until AFTER he tweeted about it.
This is why I fly United. 🙂

Lol! Hispanic heritage peanuts? You've got to be kidding. I'm eagerly awaiting Irish heritage peanuts. I'm sure those will be right after the Italian heritage ones, right? More hispandering. *rolls eyes*
