I've watched the news report and read the tweets regarding this unfortunate scenario. Yes, the communication to Mr. Smith to ask him to leave the plane could have been handled better. However, I am a large person as well, and I fly regularly on SWA. There is no better airline out there as far as flying on schedule and more inexpensively than the other airlines. I have not had to buy 2 seats yet, but if I prefer to stay obese, I will have to do so. There are choices in life; Kevin Smith chooses to be large. Kevin, take the consequences of your choice and quit mouthing off with vulgar language on Twitter. If you expect to be taken seriously about a boycott, don't write information about the size of your "manhood" for all to read! That was gross and makes me wonder if you used similar language with the flight attendant. I will not boycott anything based on the rantings of a person who chooses to be both obese and obscene! Enough already!
