Mike Lynch misses the point. Thin and fat passengers alike are tired of having to squeeze into those ridiculously tight seats the airlines pack three- and four-abreast to sardine in as many possible passengers as they can.
I’m “standard”-size, and I can testify that it’s been years since I’ve felt able to move or breathe in an airplane seat.
It’s not just fat people who are at a special disadvantage here. Anyone of over average height ends up sticking his or her elbows into someone’s lap as well.
I don’t recall ever hearing about anyone–fat or thin–having this kind of trouble in airplanes until they started packing in seats and narrowing them to such absurd proportions.
