Hey "anonymous"...We all know you're a plant from another airline. Why don't you at least use your real name and stop hiding behind the one you keep using.
Also, to answer the person's question about her 6'5" 300lb boyfriend. Since the flight attendants and pilots are human the policy is enforced using judgement. I suppose what the airline could do is weigh and measure every passenger and then have a policy that says, "if you're wider than x or heavier than y you will need to buy two seats."
There is no great way to handle this type of situation. A person's weight is a touchy subject and no matter how well it's handled you will always have naysayers.
My advice to overweight people is to lose weight. You'll be doing us all a favor.

This man has been given a valuable "wake up call" on his unhealthy lifestyle. Too fat to travel on a plane... think about what is happening to his arteries, his heart, his internal organs - slowly being clogged up with excess FAT. The mature, next step would be to go on a diet, or consult a medical professional for help. Public hissy fits - behaving like my three year old son when he gets told off - is just not on. Well done to Southwest for their mature, dignified behavior in the face of a very immature barrage of criticism.
