Someone wrote into the AZ Republic and the letter was posted today. They said that the airlines should think of "other" ways to charge people. She even listed examples of paying extra to 1) not be nearing a screaming child 2) not be sitting next to someone who smells (of perfume, cigerettes, etc...) 3) not sitting next to a person who (there is no PC way to say this) is large and is spilling over into your seat.

On long flights, I'd definately pay extra not to sit near a screaming child or next to someone who takes up not only their seat but mine as well.

Southwest actually has a policy where they require a person who takes up more than the one seat to buy a second ticket. However its been a bit controversial in the way the decide who fits in the seat and who needs to buy the extra, and what happens if the flight is full and there is no extra seat etc. etc. etc.

Couldn't fly USAirways, then. They don't take off without the mandatory crying baby.
