A few things to comment about this unfortunate situation;
1.) if you are indeed "too Fat to Fly" and need to purchase an additional seat. How can you insure your customers who do so they even get the open seat next to them with an open seating policy?
2.) Also, I was told the seat rows towards the back of the plane are 2'' shorter in width than those towards the front, is this true? (This was told to me by a southwest flight attendent)
3.) What is the point on carrying seatbelt extenions if a customer who does fit into normal seatbelts/seats/armrests gets removed from the plane for "safety reasons" AKA "Too Fat"
I myself fit into the seats on southwest (even the ones in the back)but i am also over weight and do realize there are some people that are complete slobs and would make sitting next to an unpleasant experience but the majority of overweight people out there try to be as conciderate as possible to others even though 99% of the time we dont get the same conciderations in return. I think it is unjust and descriminating what they (southwest) put Kevin Smith Through. I am glad though that it happend to a celb. so that what is probably common practice on Southwest can be brought to attention and it is good to see some attempt by Southwest to change policies to change dated guidelines from days before all those extra rows were added and seat sizes cut.
