We are all so PC that we do not want to hurt the feelings of an obese person. Believe me, the obese passenger knows they are large. There should be a rule that if a seat belt extension is needed then an extra seat should be purchased. If you have a large couple, they could buy three seats for the two of them.

The airlines are pushing their customer relations nightmare into our laps and we are allowing it.

If it's a problem, then just purchase a first class seat.

So a thin person who fits in a seat should have to pay more money to fly because the obese person next to them refuses to do so (as they make the flight uncomfortable for the thin person)?

Am I missing something here..?
