I think it is more scary that only after they saw who this guy was and what a following it was receiving on twitter and in the media (because of his twitter following), they decided to handle the situation...if had been some poor fat shlub off the street with no twitter account he wouldn't have gotten anything...and we wouldn't be talking about this...
 
His relative perhaps?

Whatever, I am tired of sitting next to Jabba the Effing Hut, those pudgy Ba$tards need two seats. That includes the Hollywood losers, too.
 
My problem with it is that they rarely follow their own policy as far as I've seen- not that I've ever seen another airline apply their own rules on this. I've personally been the meat in the middle of two fatty sandwiches on Southwest and I was probably on the most expense tickets (last minute purchases) both times. While in uniform and trying to find a seat I was told both times that the flight was full and I wouldn't be able to jumpseat. I politely told them I wasn't jumpseating and had a ticket. Unfortunately they didn't follow their own policy by making at least one of the offenders go. I usually prefer my flights to be on Southwest since their cabin crews seem to have the best attitude in the skies and their frequent flier program is also the best (as long as you are going to Southwest cities), but now that I know the policy I will be the "a-hole" that delays a flight by demanding compliance before I'll ever be the middle of a Southwest sandwich again.
 
the thingis though........(if i read his ranting correctly) he BOUGHT two seats on his original flight............ it is when he caught an earlier flight that he had the problem as it was a full flight. i think swa should take the blame they should not have allowed him to switch to the earlier seat where he could not be accomidated in two seats......speaking of which i wonder if he was charged for two seats onthe earlier flight?????/

You shouldn't HAVE to do our job for us but I can promise you that the other people affected by that situation would thank you.

Gup
 
Whoa... back the truck up. What's the bigger story here- the fact that he needed two seats or the fact that he is traveling via SWA.

This is not a jab at SWA. Love flying with them, but Mr. Hollywood bigshot doesn't have enough scratch to charter a private jet? I knew "Jersey Girl" sucked, but I didn't realize it hurt him this bad financially.

Maybe he thought he could bring his OWN EXTRA BAGGAGE onboard for FREE? Regardless, SWA really messed up screwing with the wrong guy, with 500,000 followers on Twitter. Let me guess? An old SWA stew based in DAL, not knowing who this guy was? Probably. OOOOPS.


Bye Bye--General Lee
 
I thought this quote was pretty funny...

"I'm flying on the welfare airline, food-stamp airline," he said. "So I think I can indulge myself with two seats, and I can afford to do it."
 
Just curious... I've seen airline pilots that are considerably fatter then silent Bob. Would Southwest bump a paying passenger for a "deadhead of size"?
 
IT'S ON!

Oh, Sorry but the bottom line has always been more important than people at
Southwest Airlines.

Ask the employees of ATA, Muse Air or TranStar or Morris.
Airlines that were purchased by Southwest, expecting to be treated fairly, and then
screwed totally by a bunch of self-serving hypocrites.

This gross mistreatment of this particular passenger is just one more nail in their coffin.

Hope you're as spunky on the way down as you were on the way up.

Whatever happened to "The Golden Rule?"
If Southwest was bought by another airline, how would you want to be
treated?

Unfortunately, in Texas, it's more like those "With the Gold make the Rules."

And that is why , in time, they will fail.

So, I'm gonna go ahead and assume you didn't get an interview at Southwest. Don't feel bad...I didn't get an interview either.

Oh yeah, that's right. Talk bad about southwest and you, "didn't get the interview."
Hey, good thing for you it's "pay for training," or you might not have gotten the job either.

Lighten up, Scope! I was just kidding. Besides, if you read my entire post, you would have seen I DON'T work for SW. Geez.
 
Scope out RJs...... Proof that Idiocracy was more than just a movie. Unfortunately.
Wake up smart/rational people and start humping without condoms! We're in a breeding war here!
(but get tested- smart people dying of aids won't help the cause...)(Maybe we can even get polygamy approved for smart people only...)

Who gives a rats a$$! seriously, rich Hollywood guy flying on SWA? How many jets could this guy have? Get over yourself Bob. You were fat when you made Clerks and your even fatter now.
 
Is silent bob that rich? I don't think so. Private jet? no.. maybe 1st class, although he fits right in with the SWA crowd. I didn't know this guy was such a celebrity. He's not.

Waveflyer.................Proof that pay for training can get even the most incompetent people hired into the cockpit of a jetliner, even if it is only southwest.
Too bad the hair club for men isn't a real club, then you could add that to the list of things to do besides humping your man's leg!
