There Are More of Us Than There Are of Them!!

Why do we continue to patronize companies that discriminate?  I'm talking about Southwest Airlines.  Once again, they wanted a passenger to purchase two tickets because of their size.  What the heck!!!

I saw the picture of the person.  There are larger people out there that fly.  I've been on flights beside those folks.  If they can fit in the seat, more power to them.  I just don't understand why Southwest feels they have the right to humiliate and discriminate against large people.

As one who is not the right weight for my height, meaning if I were 7 feet tall I'd be a supermodel, it is disgusting that this is allowed to go on.  Large people, live lives like everyone else, we just do it in a larger than life way.  I personally have flown a few times in my life without any issues.  If it's such an ordeal for the airline, why don't they have a few seats just a bit larger than the others?  First class seats are, why not a few more in the back?

When I read this my first thought was, I wonder what Southwest would do if they had a run on us chubs one flight and we all sat on the same side of the plane?  That would fix them.  Or all of us sit in the back of the plane.  They'd be popping a wheelie the whole way down the runway.  Why do they have seat belt extenders if they only want a certain size of passenger?

There are more of us chunky butts than there are of those thin folks out there.   Bountiful bodies of  the world unite.  Enough of this discrimination.  We need to stand up for our rights.  If I want to wear an airline seat for a couple hours, than so be it.  I'm paying for the seat, so leave me alone.

Worse things get on those planes.  One flight I was on, there was someone who farted the whole time.  Rank recycled air for an hour and a half flight.  Don't forget about the crying babies.  What a joy they are.  Then there's the person in front of you that has to recline for the entire trip.  That's what I want, some guys head in my lap for 3 hours.  Oh, and the person who has to use the bathroom every ten minutes.  They're always in the window seat and have to climb over everybody.  Why doesn't Southwest start asking if you have bladder issues before you fly?  It's just as insane as asking someone to purchase two seats because they're fat.

If we quit flying Southwest, they will have to change, eventually.  Until then, lets hold our heads, and our cheesecake, high.  Who knows, with all the lawsuits, they just might end up getting what they deserve.
