Default Paying Extra For Being Fat

IMHO obese people should pay for two seats, and also be able to fit in
the lavatory.

When I worked for a major carrier we had an obese lady flying from west
coast to east. When nature called she was too big to fit thru the
lavatory door. She attempted to relieve herself in her seat in an
airsick bag. A f/a held up a blanket to try and give her some privacy.
Let
us just say the aircraft cleaners really earned their money!

I'm not a lawyer but as I understand it being extra large is not a
protected right under Federal Civil Rights laws in the USA.
IMHO if you overflow into my space on a plane then maybe one of us
should pay for two seats of space. What gives a large person right to
the space I paid for. If you need my space then pay for it.
