“
All plus-size passengers should be provided with an extra free seat, or even two or three seats depending on their size, to accommodate their needs and ensure their comfort during the flight.” Among other demands.
Want an extra seat? Buy an extra seat. Why should extra seats be free for you merely because you are extremely large?
From an ARFF perspective, if you’re a very obese person, you’re already at a disadvantage if you can’t self extricate in the event of an aircraft crash or fire, especially if you are too large for the overwing aircraft exits and your options are limited to the main cabin doors, often only at the far front or far aft of the aircraft. If you’re unconscious, chances of us being able to successfully rescue you is extremely lessened; it will be tough enough trying to rescue lighter, non-large people in a confined cabin space and especially one that is on fire, smoke filled, or collapsed/deformed.
