I think this is a great idea, after all we're all entitled to peace of mind everywhere we go so we shouldn't have to put up with a fat person's spillage into our seats. I just hate that - ruins my whole flight not to have the armrest to myself.
I was wondering if we could apply this principle to other things that really annoy people and ruin flights. Could we kick off ALL the screaming children instead of just some of them? There's been some inconsistency lately from the industry regarding this. If I'm not mistaken, Southwest Airlines was beginning to lead the way in ejecting loud children from flights. It's a great move, and one that everybody appreciates. The problem is, why only some of them? This is sending mixed signals to Southwest AIrlines' customer base. We want to buy with confidence in knowing that every time a child acts up, Southwest's staff will be on its heels ready to take no shit and throw it and its mother (funny how there are almost never any fathers involved) off the place so the rest of us can fly in peace.
I think Southwest Airlines needs to go a step further and apply this practice to yet more annoyances. I know I'm NOT the only person who feels this way, but why do we have to allow people covered in strong-smelling perfumes and other scented crap on? It's terrible to be stuck next to someone for a few hours, having to smell a cheap or poorly designed fragrance. It's even worse when you have to sit next to someone who used half a can of hairspray to make sure her Bumpit stays in place. And AfroSheen, oh god. Black hair products smell like death to me! I know I'm not the only one! Why do we HAVE to tolerate it? Can't we just throw off all of these people?
Can't we just make it a policy that only thin, white (other ethnicities smell bad with all their weird products), childfree, Christian or Jewish (Muslims are too much a security hazard, I think you'll all logically agree) passengers can go on Southwest Airlines? Those requirements literally knock out 99% of the security issue alone, and would save SOOO much time. And the best part is, people could fly again as flying were meant to be!
Seig Heil Southwest!
