How do you all feel about airlines making "customers of size" buy 2 seats on an airplane? Do you think they should provide a few larger seats in the back for these people? Or is it fair that they have to buy 2?

Speaking as a *former* "customer of size", I can see both points of view, but how do you determine whether or not that person will *need* two seats (especially if they book their ticket online, as more and more people are doing)? At my heaviest, I was over three hundred pounds, yet I still was able to fit just fine in one seat with the armrests down. Most people that book their ticket online aren't required to check something about needing extra room, so it wouldn't be determined that this is someone who needs *2 seats* until they check in before the flight, and by that time usually the entire flight is full and there'd be no 2nd seat for the person.
Just my personal .02
