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

, into seats that no one possibly could be comfortable in -- no wiggle room, no leg room. Their philosophy has always been "the more the merrier."

Just recently American taxpayers, including the 61% that are considered obese, rose up and bailed out the airline industry when they were suffering financially due to September 11th. Is it really asking that much for a little appreciation?

If they're so concerned about what they call "comfort of the consumer," what about those of us who get stuck sitting next to people who smell? If they actually did care, they'd have a special section for them, too. And what about the countless horror-stories I've heard about the people who get stuck next to jabber-jaw Betty who goes on and on and on about her eight beautiful kids and house surrounded by a white picket fence from take-off to landing? They might as well go ahead and mark off a section for people like her, too. Oh, and while they're at it, they better just go ahead and stick all the people with weak bladders in one area. And a section for people who have a tendency to get air sick -- from my own
