Southwest Airlines policy for Customers of Size

@jon-nyc said in Southwest Airlines policy for Customers of Size:
Were they wider? I don’t think so. The rows certainly were further apart
Width in the 1970's was about 18 inches vs. 16.5 today. The average legroom (seat pitch) has dropped by 4 inches.
Those are average figures for Economy Class.

I think I have told this story before, but one time I was on a flight and there were two open seats, one next to me and one next to a guy a few rows apart from me. Getting ready to close the doors and all of a sudden, this really big fat guy comes walking down the hallway.
The other empty seat guy and myself looked at each other, and in that brief glance, we knew what each other was thinking. "Please, please, dont sit next to me!" Fortunately, his seat was next to the other guy. I almost wanted to jump up and down in happiness when that happened. I remember the look on his face when he saw he was the "loser" in this game. LOL
