Southwest Air adopted a  ”customer of size policy” 25 years ago that requires passengers that cannot fit safely and comfortably in one seat to purchase an additional seat while traveling.  If anyone has had to give up a portion of their seat on an airplane to a person whose fat hangs over into their seat on a long flight, they can appreciate the courage of Southwest to have such a policy in today’s politically correct world.

Director Kevin Smith was recently a victim of this policy and has “vowed never to fly Southwest again”.  Now if only we could get all the other airlines to adopt this policy we could ground Kevin forever.
