I just think this is wrong in sooooo many ways. Why should it matter how big you are they should just have seats that everyone can fit in. Maybe the airlines needs to think about this and make extra large seats in a few rows then problem solved and it saves embarrassment and the airlines bad publicity.

I agree! Yes, people should lose weight for their health. Yes, people are responsible for their weight and being obess has it consquences. But, the airlines have made the seats smaller to add more people. Do I have facts to back me up? Not on hand but I am sure I could google it just well as anyone.

But make the seats a little wider for all or designate a section.

I've been meaning to see that anyway.



All I know is that I'll be glad when it's finally legal to start shooting fatties. They disgust everyone who sees them with their sweaty rolls of skin and multiple chins, and they contribute nothing to society. Not to mention we'll probably be doing them a favor by putting them out of their misery, since they can't be bothered to take their face out of the trough and do it themselves.

There will be more food and air for the rest of us, and we can finally all fly comfortably.

It will be a good day.

The only time I was ever annoyed by someone reclining was - were we on Northwest? - but we were so crammed in that the guy in front of me was in my lap. That whole flight just sucked ass. Larry calmed me down or you'd have read about me in the news. :jet:

I was only flying to Portland OR and I was miserable. Two legs on the flight, and had to wait for a seat assignment. First leg got the middle of the last row. Across the aisle was the Galley, and behind me was the restroom.. NO sleeping on that flight.

Landed, went to the gate and she had me in the same seat for the second leg. I turned on the charm and she moved me to an exit row.

There have been a few times when I've walked up to a gate and the person doing the check in looked at me and automatically put me in an exit row without asking.

Oh yea, my worst flight was a 12 hour burner off the coast of the Soviet Union with #1 feathered when we had both HF radios fail and were turning back towards Alaska when we got a fire warning on #2 trying to climb on the edge of a terrible thunderhead. The lightning was lighting up the night sky the flight engineer was trying to re-lite #1 and it was about 60% rpm while he yanked the e-handle on #2 and punched the HRD. We were starting to kick some serious yaw when #1 came up to full speed and then began to shutter. The vibration was shuttering the cabin, it was orchestrated chaos as the PPC set condition 5. I struggled to and strapped into my seat and glanced out the window and it was inky dark. The engines were screaming trying to put out max horsepower as we tried to climb, the airframe was mildly buffeting........about that time a dark figure came down the tube and sat right next to me.......the red lights on my crew control lit up and through the clear visor of the helmet I saw..........the face of the large black lady who always seemed to be in the seat next to me everywhere I went I mentioned above. I wasn't panicked at all during that whole thing until she said "Oh lawdy, I might get sick".

Its ok, i was disapointed with how they did the special effects, reminded me more of True Lies than a John McLain movie.

How the hell would I know?! :killingme



Haha, I'm sure it's different with different airlines and how long the flight is but my Mom said you get real plates and silverware, hot washclothes to wash your hands with, your seats recline and you pretty much get whatever you want...you want champange, you got it :yay:

That said, I've seen behind the little curtain...ehhh, the seats look bigger and there aren't many of them...that's pretty much it.

Oh and like ylexot said, you board and get off the plane first.

The only way it's worth it is if they offer it at a discount when you check in for your flight. The ticket I just bought on VirginAmerica was $99 one way, to upgrade to first class was $849

Public Transportation for Overweight passengers

When you use public transportation, you DO NOT have the right to take up two seats or even a portion of another seat unless you are paying for it.It does'nt matter if you are on a bus train or plane.I too have been subject sitting next to a person that was encroaching on my seat and it is not pleasant having being partially sat on. With so many people becoming obese, the cost of fuel is also becoming a factor. I am not talking about people that have put on a few extra pounds from christmas , but the size that block escalators, so you cannot walk past. I don't believe you have the right to be so fat that you impact other people. It is not like being blind or confined to a wheelchair or things that you have absolutely have no control over.I am not symphathetic to self destructive people.
Guess I will get hate mail from this but...............

Oh yeah, they usually have a bathroom up front that coach passengers aren't supposed to use unless it is empty (they won't let you stand there waiting). Depending on the aircraft/flight, you might even have your own TV with your choice of movies and games.

When I took BG to San Diego, the first class ticket was $300 less than the coach ticket.

So let me see if I understand you: you wrote a post that you think will get you hate-mail. You deliberately write a message, and publish it with the full expectation that other people are going to be so offended by what you wrote that they will actually hate you enough to respond with their hatred.


And yet - you would finish off said post with the declaration that you're "not sympathetic to self-destructive people".






Makes perfect sense.



BTW: The next time you see a disgusting lard-ass you should deliver a handful of knuckles right to their suck-hole. If they're going to encroach on your freedoms with their fat, you should encroach on their face with your fist!
