While working overnight security at a hotel in a town where Kevin Smith was working on a film I passed him in the hall & with a box full of what I can only assume to be comic books, he asked me where his room was (not uncommon for our guests as the hotel looked about exactly the same on all floors down each hall except to those of us that worked there).
I lead him to his room and beamed with pride that I "met" THE Kevin Smith...not the movie maker/actor, but the intelligent man who became known for the aforementioned...
With that said...
There are several KINDS of fat. There is the 800lb man who needed a wall taken out of his house fat, There is John Goodman fat, There is Jason Alexander fat & heck there is John Travolta fat. (Please understand these are only used as examples of size that many people can visually understand and are not meant to be defamatory in any way.)
For those of you that haven't "met" or seen Kevin Smith IN PERSON...HE IS AKIN TO JASON ALEXANDERS SIZE! So stop with the "Kevin should have gotten 2 seats" and the "He's too fat for one seat" stuff. He is far from it. Please people, stop speaking from assumptions & with ignorance that has been fed to you via the media. Figure stuff out for yourself before coming to a decision on something.
The fact that Linda spoke with Kevin is sweet & kind. But the fact that Southwest still refuses to own up to the fact that SOMEONE in their company made a bad move by SAYING that he was "Too Fat To Fly" is utterly disgusting. If you as consumers cannot even acknowledge that much...then it is true that our society no longer thinks for itself.
I personally do not wish to use a company that cannot educate all of their employees on their standards & let their employees use their own bias judgmental opinions in order to conduct business.
