Southwest caters to morbidly obese

[TC Talks]

That comes with a cost though... EVERYONE else is paying for those extra seats for those folks!

We are also paying for the subsidized fuel and record profits. Both are far worse.

Matt, its a free world, why complain what a private business chooses to do?

Southwest is publicly traded, not a private company.

Great, complain at a shareholder meeting. Quit being a Karen.

You'd think if this was a human condition it would be more similar across the globe. Why don't India and China have this issue?

Wow, you really don't know do you? Sumo wrestlers train and eat to be that size. Try again.

Do you actually think this happened by mistake? This takes H*** amount of investment and planning. Don't marginalize these brave citizen's quest for greatness.

Think I can honestly say I'd rather just cuff the carrot than have sex with someone that big. Even if I myself was that big, I couldn't imagine having the desire to climb that mountain.

Has anyone on here gone to bed with someone that large? It can't be an enjoyable experience. How could any guy look down on something like that and be able to rise to the occasion?

It just depends on what you like and that’s largely hard wired. If nobody liked them they probably wouldn’t exist because the bloodlines that preclude somebody to obesity would die off. A lot of people aren’t picky… if it fits it ships.

Fat shaming is totally gross. For those of us advocating for larger people, it is not about embracing a disease. It is saying that some people cannot control their weight due to certain medical conditions. It's really gross that people act like it is okay to demean these people.

Do you think it is good to fat praise? Should someone be proud to be super fat?

No, they should be properly treated by healthcare professionals, but they also should not be discriminated against by airline companies. As has been mentioned in this thread, the seats are far too narrow, I weigh 245(so yeah, not skinny but not morbidly obese) and it is uncomfortable for me. Don't be a corporate shill. Hold all airlines accountable for inadequate space.

Today’s inadequate space was yesterday’s adequate space. Is it really hard to work it off? And I don’t mean finding the motivation… but if you were to lift weights, do an hour on the bike and etc would it just stay there anyways? Keep in mind I have a very hard time putting it on…

I am 6'5" and built like a Viking. I can't fly American or United without my legs getting into the isle. Delta and Southwest, even Spirit are no problem.

You might just consider it's a humane policy for the rest of the passengers. So that THEY aren't forced to sit next to one of these blobs that can't be contained within a normal seat and spillover into the adjacent one.

That comes with a cost though... EVERYONE else is paying for those extra seats for those folks!

And 'being fat' isn't a disease for 99.9% of those folks. Where are all those pro-vaxxer folks who insisted folks get vaxxed to "take a load off the medical care system", and "it's for your own health"?? Why aren't they pretty vocal on this one?

I'll be gladly vocal on this. You are 100 percent correct that it sucks that the rest of us have to cover the tab for the freebies being handed out to the morbidly obese. By no means should they be rewarded for their horrific eating habits.

Southwest Airlines has been poorly run for a while now. I miss the Southwest Airlines of yesteryear.

I have long legs, and when flying coach, I try to get an aisle seat. Emergency row seats work great, too.

There is no excuse for airlines to have a seat size under 18 inches. That is unreasonable, but people shouldn't buy tickets for planes that have a seat size under 18 inches. This is one of the things that the market can decide on really well if people were willing to do their due diligence. Fat fucks have no excuse for buying an airline ticket for a carrier like American, United, or Delta where coach has 16-17 inch seats without checking to see the seat size for the plane they will be on. They're creating an uncomfortable flying situation for other people. It's this easy.

Or just fly first class. Its about 2.5 times the cost, but it's worth it.

100% agree!!!

I used to LUV flying SW and it wasn't just because the flight attendants were fun. The cockpit crew would really be aggressive to keep on schedule.

Now it seems like just a bit more expensive version of SPIRIT.


Does anybody remember (or miss) MIDWAY AIRLINES? Do you remember THOSE coach seats?

I'd rather sit next to Biden on a plan than Trump.

But then again, I am an adult man and not an 8 year old girl.

Wow, you really don't know do you? Sumo wrestlers train and eat to be that size. Try again.

Man, those Traverse City snow cows are fatter than I remember.

Where did you take this picture? Grandview Parkway?
