If your ass is too fat to fit on a single seat then you should find another way to travel.

I have no problem with them having two seats, as long as they pay for two fucking seats

I can see this going something like this.

  • We need to make the seats larger to fit obese people.

  • We can sell it as "We are now giving everyone more room and comfort when you fly with us!"

  • We now have less seats be flight so the price must rise.

Everyone will end up paying more and not even know why.

You ever see pictures of airline travel from about the late 1940s up to about the mid to late '60s? Fucking insane amounts of room for each passenger, none of that flying cattle car bullshit.

You sure that was represented of an actual flight? It is very easy to post such an image and misconstrue it as a "normal" circumstance.

Well, most of the pictures of that sort that I've seen were from period issues of National Geographic and Popular Mechanics. So even allowing for advertising manipulation, they're probably close to the truth.
