No. Fat people are still one (1) person. They purchase a ticket for one (1) person. Personally, I'd like to see a class action lawsuit suing the shit out of every single airline on the planet that condone this type of greedy bullshit.

They already have us squeezed in like sardines. I'm 6'4, 225 lbs. I always fly coach, take an isle seat and sit with my legs in the isle. I'd like to see them try to make me buy two tickets because I'm too tall. There'd be a lawsuit slapped on their ass faster than they could say "we'll settle out of court."

No, no, no, no and no. Fat people are still one (1) person.

Just like charging $20.00 a bag. That just reeks of greed. The only smart one out there that I know of is Southwest Airlines.

Only the tall and fat people are squeezed in like sardines. Short skinny people have plenty of room. It's simple geometry.

Maybe we should just send children on business trips.

I don't have plenty of room, I feel totally squeezed in, I don't know how people any larger can stand it.
If it weren't so awful to fly, I might do it more often.

That's kinda my point. Short small people have absolutely no idea how good they have it.

I agree. The last time I flew the seat rows were so close together that I could not lean over enough to reach for my purse on the floor. I had to hook it with my foot and bring it up to my hand. Im 5ft and 110 pounds.
