Jodypag - get a grip, lady. We are in the midst of the worst healthcare crisis, EVER, because people DON'T KNOW HOW TO EAT HEALTHY DIETS and are obese. Who is sucking our system dry with ongoing healthcare issues? Obese people. I'm not saying my heart does not ache for obese people - it does. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be that way. But the other side of that coin is this - people are obese in this country for many reasons, much of them centered around behavior, i.e., a lack of movement and exercise and a complete inability (and in some cases, a total lack of desire) to feed themselves nutritiously and properly. Obesity is a disease too - but in the MINORITY of cases, not the majority.
Again, I'm not saying that I do not empathize with obese people, but before you go judging "judgemental" people like Susan Cody, look within yourself. "With people like you around it's amazing that I had the motivation to lose 135 pounds"? Really? Because clearly it was Susan's problem (and other slim people's problem) that you were fat. Clearly.
In any case, I would have made the biggest stink EVER if I was asked to deplane because someone didn't buy two seats. Are you kidding me? I would like to know if the woman asked to deplane was compensated. What if she were flying on a death/bereavement ticket? Or giving a presentation in front of an auditorium of thousands? Totally irresponsible corporate behavior on the part of Southwest Airlines. The teenager that they were too afraid to embarrass should have been booted (and perhaps given some money to fund his future gastric bypass).
Take care of yourelf Americans. ugh. Stop being lazy, get off your butts and walk or exercise, and STOP EATING fat, sugar, and execessive carbohydrates!
If that doesn't work, THEN complain. But not until then.
