I don't think SWA did anything remotely 'wrong' here. I've been on flights next to (trying to be as nice as humanly possible here) people of 'larger' size. It's not only disgusting, it's quite uncomfortable, and as for me I'm 6'5" 255 lbs (quite athletic) it's hard enough for me to fit in the seats. But what makes this whole situation even worse, is that he's making such a huge deal about it. It's blatantly obvious he's trying to resurrect a pitiful career, and he also said he can AFFORD to buy two seats for his abnormally large 'frame'. So why didn't he? I'm quite glad he said he'll never fly SWA ever again because I would hate to see him on a flight and tell him my opinion. I'm sorry for him that he refuses to take care of himself, but the fact that he prides himself on it is sad. So next time, on a different airline, he can fly in the cargo hold and be able to be comfortable. One last thing, the fact that he called SWA the 'welfare airline' just show how classless he really is.
Bravo Southwest, job well done, and please continue to enforce this rule.
You will continue to be the only airline I fly.
