OK, not wealth redistribution, but still...

Nov 20, 2008 09:58 pm Sorry, but I have to say if yoru gonna take up two seats cause your keester is huge then you gotta pay for two seats. I'm not wanting to pay more for my single seat because some fat person thinks they should get two seats for the price of one.
That just does not seem fair.
OK, I have a condition were my legs cramp if they are not elevated. I want two seats for the price of one so I can put my feet up.
That makes as much sense as two seats because your arse is huge. And I have just as much right as they do.
Nov 20, 2008 10:23 pm Will two really skinny people, who'll fit in one seat, be allowed paying just for one seat too???
Nov 21, 2008 07:11 am Oh, and the industry doesn't refer to them as fat asses. They're called customers of size. I learned that from watching Airline.
Let's be politically correct now.
Nov 21, 2008 07:36 am This one's got me thinking:
Does the airline charge by the seat? or do they charge by the person?
If they charge by the seat, then yes, one person = one seat.
If they charge by the person, then one person = one fare.
If the former, then wheelchair occupants shouldn't have to pay at all. If the latter, then the airline should accommodate anyone that wants to fly.
Seems to me that re-fitting some of the seats, to accommodate larger people would be in order. I'm kinda wondering how a larger person would use 2 seats: wouldn't the armrest get wedged in . . well, you know.
Nov 21, 2008 07:45 am Why not just go to bench seats like school buses?

Yes! No seat belts, and the awesome dental-modifier steel bar on the seat ahead of you.
Adventures in flying!
Nov 21, 2008 08:08 am I say charge by the pound!
I can see the ads now:
Ship your *** to Florida for only $8.95/pound!
Special! Round trip the the Keys for five bucks a key!
Save five percent! Fly naked!
Nov 21, 2008 09:11 am Oh man, you guys got GREAT ideas.
By the pound, that's great!
Nov 21, 2008 09:28 pm Sweet, bench seats on an airplane. I can fly next to some sweaty customer of size lady with hairy armpits who falls asleep, leans on me and drools out some unknown fluid on my personal space.
Cool, then I can sue the airline for abuse of my personal space.
Walt, that was funny stuff!

I was going to say "only if the flight attendants are naked too."
Then I remembered one of the male attendants on one of my recent flights.
Never mind.
