Airlines can figure out how many seats per flight would be affected by fat people spilling over into the next seat, hold those seats, and then spread that cost out among the rest of the passengers through higher ticket prices.

If the blocked seats are not being used by a fat person, release them to revenue standby or non-rev pax. If a pilot is assigned a deadhead next to someone taking up half of their seat, just get off, call scheduling, and tell them to try again. I agree that people should pay for the space that they occupy and that others shouldn’t be inconvenienced because someone else spills over into theirs, but that isn’t PC.

Sorry. but no. Generally treehugger, but if you can't fit in a seat, you should pay for two. We make people pay for carrying extra luggage, this is the same. I think we should start charging for seat belt extenders.

Well yeah, but the obese population now makes up so much of the general population that, well, good luck with that. Doesn't matter if it's the left or right side of the aisle, literally, both are obese and both think it's "fat shaming" the moment you bring up living healthy and not being obese. We basically have set up ourselves for this with our city designs, letting businesses convince us that the most important things are to go to college, start a family and have kids, buy a house, etc., there's no time for healthy lifestyle or open natural areas you can get to just to stretch your legs. It's all about consumption, riding texas-wheelchairs (side-by-sides), e-bikes, short-cuts, making life so easy that you just get fat...

Fat-shaming is inappropriate, but maybe society should stop coddling and enabling those who are living unhealthy lifestyles. Obesity related illnesses are the leading cause of death among black females and they’re being glamorized and encouraged to live a life that will kill them prematurely.
