The average seat is what, 14 inches across? Do you really think the average person can sit in that seat comfortably? At least the average American? Plus, where are all those one armed people, since the average seat has one arm rest for two people.
No which is even more reasons fatty's need to buy an extra ticket over a certain girth.
I'm not heartless....if I'm running the airline I'd be happy to offer a discount on seat #2.
Or they could offer an obese section as well. That'd be solution #2.
Yes, that was one of the solutions I was suggesting... a bigger seat for a slight higher price. Two seats doesn't make sense and isn't comfortable anyway.
The problem that we're talking about however occured on a discount carrier (SW).
There's a reason why the discount carriers are successful and the others are not.
You can get first class, business class, more leg room, etc. on United or American. They're also losing their shirts.
