The poor armrest!
This was up earlier too. It went too quickly for me to get in that I checked the actual blog in question. At the time the pic was taken, the flight was still boarding. The man was eventually seated across two seats in the row right behind where he is in the pic.
"I'll post the photo shortly I hope. It's a doozyPhotoshop fake."
I see a capitalist opportunity. Airlines for fat people.. Someone out there has the capital....
I RARELY complain about duplicate posts but this same thing has been posted every day this week. Perhaps its just the different titles so it doesn’t show up on searches.
If you think flight attendants have it bad, think about the paramedics who have to get these people to the hospital. And the facilities at the hospital are often not up to the challenge of dealing with the arrival of the patient.
Shouldn’t the airline have the right to take the large customer’s money as well as yours? If you don’t like it shouldn’t *you* be the one to take your money elsewhere?
If the airline does not provide a seat which can accommodate the paid passenger’s size is that the fault of the large person or the airline?
Airlines should charge by total weight, passenger and lugagge. There would be no more dithering and figuring on charges for infants, fat people, extra bags etc. Just you and your bags -302.5 pounds at $x per 100 miles per pound =$xxx.xx. Airlines would then compete on the per pound rate. Total weight and distance are the variables that determine an airlines’ operating costs. The fixed costs would, of course, be figured into that per pound.
How are you supposed to get by him to go to the can?
The bigger question — pardon the pun — is that the aisle is blocked. That’s a major safety concern.
That guy should have been forced to buy two seats, one window and one middle, so others can move about the plane safely. Can you imagine an evacuation with him taking up half the aisle?
Of course the flight attendant was concerned enough to take the photo.
Okay, so he is fat. All this is freakin’ crap to get you all ramped up against fat folks.
We are so done. Just like a overcooked steak.
Tough, dry and unedible.
I didn’t pay for this guys ticket, so I do not care.
Something else I thought of:
Anyone that large needs to be seated in the back of the plane as he would be impossible for other passengers to get by in an emergency.
