I'm tired of this argument. The POS policy has always been a matter of "safe" harassment. Who cares how THOSE people are treated. They obviously have no feelings as they frankly have no self-esteem...Safety? So why seat the mommy with attachments on the aisle when it is clear that in an emergency she will refuse to move until she has her darlings in tow. Or the aged couple who creak when they move; want to guess just how quickly they will respond in an emergency? How is that "safer" than the chance a fat person can't move quickly enough? Now comfort and convenience of other passengers while sounding much less politically correct comes much closer to the truth. People don't want their seatrng area encroached upon. Fine, then while we are at it, I'm an asthma sufferer. Do you know how many times I have gasped my way through a flight owing to my seat mate's love of heavy fragrance? Some how I'm expected to tolerate that. No one is worried about my actual safety in that situation. I'll fly Southwest again when they honor the comfort of all passengers and include people who pollute my air along with the "fatties" they seem so willing to disrespect. What ever happened to civilized behavior, cooperation and tolerance? Oh yeah, our "me first, last, and only" society! Every citizen a Prima Donna (except those fatties of course.) ... View more
