[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About six years ago I was flying economy from SFO to ORD and I had an aisle seat. In the middle seat was a 300 pounder who couldn’t help but spread out leaving me to lean over the aisle for five hours getting hit by carts and people walking by. The next morning my neck and back hurt like hell. I had recently retired and we are very high NW. Now I fly first class and while I hunt for the best deal I’m not flying in economy. I’m too old, too wealthy and too tired of flying in what has become a cattle car. [/quote]

Airlines should charge by the pound. They charge for extra luggage! [/quote]

Airlines should have each passenger get on the scale with all their luggage, including personal items, coats and carryons.  Any passenger whose total body and luggage weight exceeds the 
allowance should pay by the pound. [/quote]

So we should publicly fat shame?  Great idea! I can't imagine any knock on consequences from that.[/quote]

Of course not, but why is it fair to me at 5 ft, 110 lbs that a stranger who is quite large spills in to my seat. It is not comfortable for me. I don’t know what the answer is.

My shoulders are so broad that they don’t fit in the seat on a normal economy seat.  No one has ever complained about that to me or even in general.  It’s always the fat people who catch it.  Why is that?[/quote]

People also typically aren’t complaining to obese people to their face. For whatever reason (be it broad shoulders or fat) if you are spilling over into someone else’s seat they are definitely unhappy with you and you are in the wrong and should be either buying a second seat or a upgraded class of service.
