TOO FAT TO BE ON A PLANE

That reminds me of the fat cat scale.

I have a megachonker!

They already had the solution to this decades ago, but did away with it to prevent hurt feelings I guess. I can remember when they made you purchase a second seat if you couldn't fit into one.

Is that unfair? Why should the pax sitting next to using their seat suffer?

It's not, that's why I said it was the solution. Although I also have personal experience one more than one occasion seeing the airlines try to stick someone in an "open" seat which was an extra seat someone paid for. So if you're going to make them buy an extra seat (and you should) you better not try to stick someone in that seat later.

I'm old enough to remember when not everybody could afford to fly, and the industry was better off for it.

Hell, when I flew to San Diego for boot camp, the only reason I could afford to fly was my Uncle Sam was picking up the tab. Same when I flew to Southeast Asia to pick up my ship (USS Ranger). No way I could have afforded to fly internationally.

No problem with that, both seats belong to the double seater.

LOLOL first ride was on a 727 from Friendship to the lakes Aug 69, plenty of room for my 125 lb ass.
