Sorry, but the arm rest does divide the "space" you are renting on that particular flight with the airline. If you need two seats then you should pay for the extra space. A seat belt extension should mean you pay at least 1/2 price to purchase the seat next to you. Also, if you read my post, my husband would never feel victimized.
The gate agent knew there would be a problem with putting an obese person on a full flight. The agent passed this problem on to the flight crew to resolve, shuts the door and the nightmares begin. The agent just wants the plane off the gate on time.
Until you have experienced a long flight with another passenger spilling over into your seat, no one should be critical of this passenger. Obviously, the flight attendants sympathized with him because there is no way on God's green earth they would have allowed a passenger to be in the aisle or in their galley and working around him otherwise.
