I wonder how they worded it?
Easy, he's a hazard and an obstacle to the pax seated around him in the event of an emergency egress.

Probably not a bad idea. However I recommend they charge based on weight. Have a scale at the check-in, it would be easy to do.

50% of the population would just scream discrimination.

I love how the guy in the middle seat looking is looking over at him.

The guy sitting in the middle is wishing he paid for two seats!

Cant blame him. Gravitational pulls have a tendency to do that.

Umm, hello, I'd like to book an armrest to Vegas.

No maam, not a seat.

Just the armrest.

I'm all about saving money, so I can buy more Twinkies.
