I am a thin-as-a-rake, tiny woman probably near to the sizes of the two ladies Kevin had chosen to sit next to. I can tell you from RECENT experience on Delta's flights, that I am small enough that, if it weren't for my hips, two of me could easily fit in the same seat. I have no problem sitting next to larger people, I may be far left of the norm and there are a lot who are far right of the norm and have DISABILITIES that prevent them from losing weight - like one particular boss of mine. Like Kevin said, weight is sometimes not a choice.
Now, I have a roommate who LOVES southwest. Has always flown it when she had a choice to. Raves about Southwest, has points saved, the whole gamut. I looked for Southwest on my recent trip out of the country, but unfortunately Delta beat you on a number of features for the trip to and from where I was going. I enjoyed my Delta flights mostly (Save for the fact that our reserved seats in strategic spots were somehow ignored). In the future from that point, I had hoped to try a Southwest flight.
Now your Larger Sized policy doesn't tick me off - it's how the PR has been handled since then that does. This is the reason you will never have me as a customer.
