As a heft-deprived person, I can pretty much guran-GD-tee you that Innocence Abused here was occupying half of the other lady's seat and decided to make it a civil rights case when someone objected to being in close contact with her royal doughiness. Buy another seat. And hey, I know, I know, that's unfair it's genetics ima person too etc etc. You know what's REALLY unfair? At 5'10 I am unlikely to get an NBA contract. When I'm compensated for my genetic differently-abledness you can be compensated for yours.

Reading stuff like this hurts my head

No dragged down the aisle by her feet and tossed out the L1 door onto the ramp?

Only cause she was too heavy to drag

 

[GypsyPilot]

Nope, clearly nothing else to the story here!

 

[learhawkerbe400]

That was hard to read.

At least, not without a hitch and tow straps.

Need the lifeport crane.

I must have missed the part where someone yelled racial slurs at her.

She had her ticket.

No one did. There are witnesses who are disagreeing with her side of the story. They are also saying she started the argument.

I hope this means airlines will leave more space between seats. America is fat. Time the airlines reflect that reality (I’m only 30% serious)

Man I'm 6' and 170lbs and even I find those seats tight. Another inch or two could be had just in the name of common decency

Fly JetBlue.

I bought a new truck today, it's got 4WD and tow hooks, too little too late.

Reminds me. While working in Saudi Arabia I played in a Filipino basketball league. Here’s the best part, there were two divisions, I played in the 5’8” division. At 5’8”, I was the big man.

"Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?" On the other hand, the totally fourth hand rumor is that short-stacks are more likely to survive an ejection. Fact or fiction? If fact, did you ever tell the 6'5 guy in front that you were thinking about punching out near the edge of the envelope just to see?

It’s more of a weight issue than height one. With our seat, if I remember correctly, you have to sign a waiver if you are more than 230 lbs......not really an issue for the other guy in 2 seat jets, but there is a risk you won’t clear the vertical stabs if overweight
