I have not flown Southwest in 25 years because of their policy and I will not fly them. During that period of time I have not always been large enough to have the rule imposed upon me. The rule is discriminatory just as some people discriminate against large individuals regardless of the situation or place. Furthermore, a lot of disabled individuals are larger, not because they eat more but because of their health situations and limitations. Since so many individuals are larger these days, then Southwest should run out of passengers at some point. Other passengers infringe upon me when I fly other airlines -- they spread their coats, they read the newspaper, they use their laptops and books, they have children that get in my way, cause an allergic reaction to me because I am allergic to tobacco but they come on with clothes soaked in tobacco smoke, cough in my face, etc.
