As a frequent flier on your airline, this incident scares the hell out of me. I am a little bit overweight due to a permanent and debilitating medical condition, yet I fit in your narrow seats just fine and can buckle the seatbelt with strap left over. But, seeing how you are treating people who your attendants think are "fat", I am terrified that I will be on one of your planes with my already-bulimic daughter and have some tarty attendant come and tell me I have to get off the plane or buy two seats.
You know that most people buy seats in advance and don't usually have that extra seat budgeted. That is how I travel and I would never have the extra money to buy a last-minute ticket for full fare if your employees decided to target me. Therefore, you would be tossing both me and my daughter. You would also be delayed because I would refuse to leave until you got our bags off the plane. Then you would be sued for pain and suffering because my child would go from bulimic to anorexic.
Are you ready for that kind of lawsuit? Or the ADA charges?
