GMAFB. These people that squeezed her in had a disability?! You’re joking right?
She could have handled it way better but I totally understand why she went off the deep end.

Airline seats have been getting smaller and people have been getting bigger.

And I agree with others pointing out the obvious fact that being fat isn’t a disability, it’s a consequence.

The japanese tax the overweight and also culturally look down on excess weight. They subsequently have less than 4% of their population as obese. We are at 35-40% obese. I don't think it is fat shaming to call for a self assessment. This lady was off her rocker but I get the frustration. We need to radically change our diet and our acceptance of being overweight as the new normal isn't healthy. Our crew meals are 90% carbs in some cases domestically... the ******* who planned that meal is probably 400 lbs.

That lady probably got a center seat because she was a basic economy, no assigned low budget customer. Her last flight was probably 5 years ago on the cheapest ticket available at the time. Those are the type that get on flights and try to show off and come across like an experienced pax but end up causing problems and acting like a**holes. I've seen this show too many times.
