That middle seat next to two fat fricks is my personal hell. I punish them by getting drunk and pissing a lot.

As a big guy (6', 215 lbs) but not "fat" who flies a lot, this makes me happy. Not because I can't get into the current seat but because I am damn sick of obese frickers oozing over into my space. I use every bit of mine and don't have room to loan to them.

I had a lady recently who asked if I would leave the armrest between us up since it "pinched" her side. She got pissed when I said absolutely not because she was moving into my area. Flight attendant had to come make her put it down. Just last week, I paid extra for a "Comfort Plus" seat (what a fricking rip off) and then had Delta seat a 350+ pound dude in the next seat who was all over me. Actual in physical contact with me throughout the flight. It's never an OT9 next to me. I get sweaty dudes every time.

Fatties should have to travel by train or ship like the freight they resemble.

I would never fly Airbus ever again if they had some sliding bench setup where a fatty could slide over and take more of my room.

That sounds like hell.

Have you flown on any of the Airbus configurations for united or american recently? I'm 6'2 and those flights were miserable (besides the exit row), I avoid booking the A319 or A320 on united like the plague.

What I hate more than anything is having a crying, screaming kid sitting next to me on a plane and the flight attendants won't let me move to another seat just because it's my kid......

Well, overweight isn't exactly fat, at least in this gluttonous society we live in.

Why not just bring the 18.5" wide seat back so those of us that actually fit on the plane can sit in comfort?

If you stand only 6' and weight 215, you are fat unless you are a professional athlete and its your job to train
