Ben Franklin figured out it was cheaper to have one price for postage, than to have different rates for how far a letter was delivered. Airlines know how much their average customer weighs and charge accordingly. If someone buys a ticket, the air line agrees to provide transportation. Maybe they could swap out chairs for benches or couches.

No way, at least with the seats I can force the arm rest down and squish some of the lard back on to their side.

Fine, change the wording on the contract so if someone buys a ticket the airline agrees to provide one seat. Then I assume you'd be perfectly fine with making someone who needs two seats buy two tickets, since I'm assuming you believe in the free market.
