Southwest: "You're too fat to fly."

[Raoul Duke]

they should have made them purchase the extra seats. There is nothing worse than sitting next to a giant bag of goo that takes up all of their seats and most of yours.

 

[say again]

They should place a mock seat next to the mock overbin at the ticket counter, just to make sure you fit before you head to the gate.

That sir, is a good idea.

They should have just gate checked her.

She was past the belt loader limits.

They need an economy seat with the arm rests down at the gate. Either that or a really narrow door to the jet way. If you don't fit without spilling over the sides into the next passengers space you either buy another seat or you don't get on- just like the the carry on bag measuring boxes they are supposed to use that are right at the gate also.

Yes, I am bitter because I am a wale magnet when I ride in back.

I am amazed by the wisdom and simplicity of this idea. Unfortunately, they would use the a$$ sizer as much as they use the bag sizer, which is to say - never.

...and if the flight leaves the gate with just one empty seat, then the Customer of Size will have the price of that second seat they bought, refunded to them.

LOL-and put the row of chairs on a scale. Check-in times at wn will increase by an hour.

Maybe a setup like the old Operation game... if you set off the buzzer, it's an extra seat for you!

And with the purchase of Airtran, increase 10 fold.

Was this supposed to be some Pink Floyd, "put em up against the wall" type sarcastic comment?
