Overweight Fliers Paying For Two Airline Tickets
Southwest Airlines just can't get enough. Amidst the troubles many airlines have already endured due to the attacks on 9/11, Southwest must have thought adopting a new policy making obese people pay for two seats would help their business. That, or they're just overly concerned about America's obesity epidemic and thought that the policy would be some sort of motivation for people to break out their running shoes before booking their next flight. Either way, the idea is absurd. Most companies that I know of accommodate to make sure the customer is happy at all times. Did airline executives decide to skip out on the class on customer service etiquette? A typical seat on an airplane is about 18 inches wide and if you can't fit into one without spilling over the seats (and passengers) on either side, well then you're just going to have to pay for another seat. Seeing as though 61% of America could have a smidgen of a weight problem, wouldn't it be a better idea to just make the seats a wee-bit bigger? Then again, we're talking about the same industry that crams people onto airplanes like sardines
