Default What's your policy on overweight people?

I was jumpseating to work on CAL the other day and there was an issue where we had to sit at the gate for a bit. The FA walks up and says one passenger is unhappy where he's stuck.

The unhappy pax was about 6'2" and in shape. The guy he was next to was about 5'10" and a good 300+lbs while sitting there with a McDonalds bag. The heavy was overflowing into the pax's seat.

Luckily they found a small girl to put there and swap that guy to another seat. However until they had that solution they were about to simply pull him off the flight. I didn't really like that scenario. Some guy is so obese that it warrants pulling the person next to him off the plane.... The way I see it your seat is like real-estate. You buy your's and it's yours. If someone is spilling into it then they should be removed.
