Overweight passengers having to purchase 2 seats, fair or not fair

I absolutely 100% agree with Hammer on this. I think that if you are big enough to take 2 seats then, you pay for 2 seats. I also agree that those seats are too damn small but at the low fares they charge, I can sit uncomfortablely for a few hours. The airlines were in trouble way before 9/11, 9/11 just brought it to a head.

My thoughts, if you need anything 'special' to ride you need to get first class. You get benefits from having a disability, this is what those benefits are for.. Believe me, I know that at anytime I may be disabled and I will get benefits that the working people pay for and I don't think I should inconvinence those people with my disability. I think the weight/space issue is a great idea and I'm sure the airlines will catch on if they haven't already.

Folks, keep bleeding the airlines and you will no longer have the option to fly.
