I will definitely try to Fly SouthWest now that I know they are vigilant about enforcing this. Last time I flew Delta, I got stuck next to someone who could only fit the arm rest between her rolls. Moreover, her but was so big, part of it was on my leg for the whole flight. While I understand how engaging it may be to be singled out due to one's size. It's completely unfair for me to have to deal with someone sitting on me.
Moral of the story, if you are over-weight and have a problem with this, BUY AN EXTRA SEAT. Just as Fed-ex isn't going to allow you to ship a 3'x3'x6' package for the same price as a 1.5'x1.5'x6' package, don't expect Southwest to have to ship you to your destination for the same price as smaller human cargo.
