But Mr. Smith was able to fit in between the armrests. And why do you always capitalize "Safety?" Do you think that capitalizing it makes us more likely to believe you? Have you done any safety studies? What evidence do you have regarding safety? If getting out of the aircraft quickly were a safety issue, then why don't you require wheelchair-bound people to buy 2 seats? After all, they are very slow to evacuate in an emergency. I'd think that would also be a safety issue.
And if it were about quick evacuation, why not just require fat people to sit near the window?
Also, how is it easier to exit a row with a fat person on the aisle if there are one or two people sharing the row? The fat person is still there.
Your "Safety" argument is a load of hooey. When you get sued on this policy (and you will be *successfully* sued because your policy has no rational basis and has a disparate impact on women and people of color), what are you going to use to back up your "safety" argument? Good luck with that. It is as transparent as Saran wrap.
