I had a coworker who was 6’7” tall. He could never get comfortable on a flight. Even if he was lucky enough to get an exit seat with a little extra leg room. And the employer would not pay for upgrades.

EZ, airlines can take out 33% of the seating in planes, make larger seats, more leg room and only increase the price if a ticket by say 125%. /s

I’m game. Let’s eliminate seat discrimination.

Let’s stop subsidizing some people by making others pay the same for seats.

i.e., let’s apply seat pricing by the pound.

It’s only fair.

Since when was morbidly obese a “size”. This woman isnt a ‘size’, shes an extreme ‘condition’. This isnt normal at all so it does not classify as a ‘size’. I feel sorry for her misguided perspectives. She has given up on life obviously and hopefully many like her will be inspired to NOT do what she does.

I think we all know it isn’t about fat women, just about fat women “of color”.

How about laying off the groceries for awhile?

Put a scale at the ticket kiosk and before you get a boarding pass the passengers weight is multiplied by the per pound price for flying cargo. It’s all fair then.

Don’t let anyone (including yourself) tell you, you can’t. 9.5 months ago I was 360 lbs using a walker, now, I hike daily & down 110 lbs. 💪 #carnivore #WeCanDoIt       https://twitter.com/CarnivorousMe1/status/1646977142524370945

While I dig the glasses “she” is wearing, the oxygen tubes give me pause. Personal portable oxygen is prohibited on commercial airlines...at least it used to be.

I disagree. ALL extremely fat people I’ve dealt with are arrogant and demanding.Their least demand is you accept their grossness as normal.
They expect the world to cater to their mental illness just as do the “transgenders”.

I just don’t fly anymore and I am overweight but can still fit ok in a plane seat. I just don’t like the flying experience anymore. Between the TSA, crammed sitting and all the restrictions it isn’t worth it. I’ll drive in my nice comfy car, thank you very much!

It is very easy to make fun of all of this, but anybody who has traveled a lot, such as myself, can attest to the smaller and smaller size available to passengers. I do think there needs to be a reset, larger seats, more legroom, And functionally large enough bathrooms. Even myself, at 5’8’ and 190 pounds find myself cramped on a typical airline.
