Paid for a whole seat - only got half of one

[Lear70]

I can't wait to see what the idiots, both democrat and republican are going to do when the economy goes into recession and we've got millions of illegal aliens out of work, collecting welfare, and in the hospital having their 5th anchor baby. I guess Barak will want to dig farther into my pockets for that one. I trust Barak about as far as I do McCain, which ain't far.

Ummm... it's not going to be the illegal alien out of work.

THEY are the ones who are going to have a job, since they are the cheapest labor and companies will still hire whoever is cheapest, regardless of their work status.

It will be the low-income American who refuses to work for half the minimum wage who is out of work and drawing unemployment.

Not that it matters, as unemployment rates skyrocketing STILL means more taxes for you and me, regardless of which section is out of work.

That's why I was *HOPING* for a candidate who would be strong on kicking out our illegal aliens, but nooooo... we don't get anyone who even remotely supports keeping Americans in America and returning those who are not.

The fact that this fat woman wouldn't buy an additional seat disgust me as much as her eating habits do. I say if you're over 300 lbs, you must buy a second seat.

Don't like the terms? Lose weight!

No need for a weight limit. If you exceed the boundaries of your seat -- top or bottom -- you should buy a second one.

That goes for the huge guys whose shoulders penetrate my seat space, too.

Let's just charge by the pound!

I say look at the fare they paid let whoever paid more for the ticket have more of the room.

You know, if this person doesn't want to have someone next to them, they could buy two seats just as easy as the other person. I had two customer incidents recently. One had brought on a rather large musical instrument and another had brought on an expensive painting. Both these idiots insisted on belting them into a seat somewhere in the cabin, nevermind they didn't pay for the extra seat, they felt the single fare entitled them to stowage of whatever crap they wanted to bring on! The customer with the painting went as far as insisting we carry it in the cockpit for him!! Now, I understand customer service for the most part, but I also understand what the fares are these days. Anybody who wants a little extra space these days should be ready to pay for it. OK, fat guy sticks into your seat: Bad. What about when this battle gets down to the armrest, or part of the armrest, or overhead space?

BTW, it felt pretty good watching that $25k chello get tossed out on the jetway!

FKN A. I had the same problem a last month on a DH flight.

So the TSA has the time to give a pilot a full-body secondary screening but they don't have the balls or the time to prevent this stuff from getting through their scanners?

Cello could be used as a weapon. Painting should've been FedExd. No, you can't put your $ht in my office.

Hey! don't categorize us ex football players who continue to workout with broad shoulders with the fat ba$tards in this world! Big difference!

My point is that if you're in my seat, I don't care if it's because you're built like Fat Albert or because you're a weight lifter. I don't want any part of you in my damn seat, and that includes your shoulders!

not really...you're both taking the space I paid for, and you did not.

 

[Flopgut]

Are there more fat people, or more people who want something for nothing? For instance, who get's the armrest?

I say we settle these debates with the fare amount!!

Hey, let's not get carried away here.:laugh:

It's one thing if Jumbo eats at Burger King everyday and can't shoe horn his back 40 into the 16 inch coach couch, but making me buy an extra seat for my two tickets to the gun show; well that is something else all together.imp:
