Ah Southwest Airlines, always at the center of a controversy... To all the legal savvy folks out there, remember Wilson v. Southwest Airlines Co?
Heh, for anyone who cares, Southwest used ban male flight attendants on the airline, wanted a sexy image, so they only had females dress up in hot pants and well you can probably imagine how they made themselves look like the "Love" airline
Anyways, it was title VII lawsuit, they lossed, but I thought it was a funny case, how's that for sex discrimination? "At last there is somebody else up there that loves you!"
My thoughts, i think this might be a bad precedent, the airlines might follow along and give people "weight restrictions" on flights. Like, you may only bring aboard X lbs. of baggage unless you pay more. But seriously, if someone is THAT big and really can't fit into a single seat, I'm amazed they make it through those tiny doorways on a plane, but they in all honesty taking up two paying seats. I guess I have no side for this one, sorry...
