nothing wrong with this. You either fit or you don't. Buy another seat or find an alternate source of travel. You're fat, loss weight or suffer the consequences.


The guy in the article doesn't look any bigger than probably a quarter of the passengers that I normally see.

That is a big guy, but I expected some obese WalMart slob.

a few more pounds doesn't get you kicked off a plane. A few more pounds can be contained in one seat.

He's not really that big


This is whats wrong with America's mindset about body weight.

This guy is a fat tub of obese lard in another country and in America we are so desensitized to fatty and morbidly obese people that he's considered "Not that big".

I fly a lot through hubs in the south and mid west. The guy in the article isn't that big. If they start kicking people off planes for being his size, they'll have a lot of empty seats.

I've sat comfortably in economy next to passengers much larger than that guy.

If that is me I'm going straight to the gym. I would be too embarrassed to be put on the news in the exact lazy boy where the fatness accumulated.

well they have the little test containers that are used to see if your carry on baggage would fit.

How about a test seat to see if your fat arse fits? no fit, then buy and extra seat or go home.

That guy is overweight, but not morbidly obese. A six month regiment of good eating and exercise and he's pretty fit.

I was completely expected a 500+ pounder.

AA is the fricking worst period. That man was not any bigger than people I have seen flying on Delta and they had no problem.
