There are a lot of overweight people in this country and i dont feel that is right to let them take over two seats for the price one because of a lifestyle choice. I understand that some people have problems and stuff but i think this is a begining of an avalanche. Next thing you we are goin to be givin free airline seats to illegal immigrants...I am taking a physiology class right now and all it takes is 30 minutes 5 times a week to better yourself. this can be as simple as walking on a treadmill while watching tv. I think its time for Americans to take responsibility for themselves and their actions. Help yourself instead of complaining to the government demanding help
My question is: What is the threshold for determining whether or not someone gets an additional seat? Like I said I am 6'3" 240, but I fit well in a coach seat, at least horizontaly, verticaly it sucks because my knees usually are pressed against the seat in front. I would love the extra seat so I can shift my legs over to be more comfortable.
If you really want to know the answer I suggest the book "Death of the Grown-up: How America's Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization" by Diana West. Its a very interesting read. It discusses how "that's how its always been" isn't really true and the "ME-ism" in our culture today.

I'll tell you when it became "all about me". It was right around the time the dumb ditz burned her woman parts on McDonalds coffee and won the silly lawsuit.
Was the coffee to hot to be spilled on ones self? Yes
Did it partially disfigure her? That's what she says
Was she in control of the cup at the time? No, that's why it spilled. She was trying to drive and drink hot coffee. Hello dumb @$$ ?!?!
Now everything is fair game.
so this actually hits home with me. I'm on a plane, well at least 4 planes each week... sometimes as many as 10 flights. Some of you know me, I'm not a little guy but damn it I fit my as$ in my seat, my seat belt fits... even on the tiny regional jets.
I have been the victim of sitting beside some huge fuggers, one dude was so big on a little jet that I stood more than I sat...and that was on us SCAirways home of the tightest seats in the air. The flight crew, also not skinny minis could care less.
I was on an American flight (my preferred carrier) to San Juan. The guy behind me couldnt fit his big anus in the seat... and this was on an airbus 300, not a tiny plane. Kept kicking my seat, hitting the headrest, etc because I wanted to put my seat back and sleep on the freakin 5hr flight. Fortunately status matters, the flight crew moved his big ole as$ back to the "open seat" which was actually smaller (back of the plane vs front of coach) and right beside the shidder.
Now, I think if your anus dont fit, you buy your butt more space. Paying to increase to to bus. or first class makes sense sometimes, however you are only really talking about an extra 3" of width to the seat in most planes. The biggest difference is space between seat backs when you move to the front of the bus.
The real problem is people dont take responsibility for their actions. If you are a big anus person, its not a secret to you, plan ahead. Its not like some size 6 lady or a guy with a 36" waist cant fit in the seats... these are size 20+ and dudes with 44" waists that cant fit.... You aint shopping off the rack when your as$ is that big

Rediculous! Fat people are fat because they eat to much and don't excercise.
We all put on some weight as you get older but you can still control it. I am currently watching what I eat and are going to the gym.
If I am too fat I get high blood pressure and can not enjoy my way of life like riding my Busa for one. I am 6'3 and 230 pounds.
I think that really fat people should stay at home and not inconvenience the rest of us.
There is definetly a case for a normal person suing a fat person for intruding into their seat space.
Giving an obese person two seats is unfair. After all running an airline is a business and the object is to make a profit not to make obese people comfortable.
Frankly I have a dim view of obese people.
