What is the 25-yr old policy, exactly? Was it--as Smith indicated--that both the arm rests must be able to go down 'comfortably'? Is there a certain diameter/girth length a person must fit (just like baggage)? Can you clarify this nebulous policy you're referring to? Or will it continue to be capriciously applied???
Personally, I am of average (or perhaps below average) weight/girth so this problem does not affect me directly. But I, like many Americans, have close friends and relatives I choose to fly with who are of above average size. And I'd like to set their mind at ease (since they know their OWN measurements) whether we will have to pay double for them to fly; rather than have to worry about it each time we try to board a plane...
