Passenger forced to stand for seven hours on U.S. Airways
A passenger had to stand during a seven-hour flight after a morbidly obese man sitting next to him made it impossible to get into his seat. Arthur Berkowitz said his 400lb neighbour on US Airways Flight 901 from Anchorage to Philadelphia spilled over into his personal space. He was not able to sit in his seat, could not move elsewhere in the aircraft because it was full and was therefore forced to stand up. (www.dailymail.co.uk) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
All airliners should make these fat obese freaks pay double price and make a rule like if you are over 300lbs you pay double price. And you get in the airplane last and you still cant fit SORRY next flight and more like triple price. Just think about all that weight we pay for at $25,$35 per 55 pound bag and we have no choice and this guy ???
There is no reason normal people should suffer from somebody's unhealthy lifestyle.
Imagine how many unnecessary casualty's such person would cause in case of emergency like being stuck in the isle and not being able to crawl on his own or sink a life raft due to uneven weight distribution or even worse completely blocking an emergency exit.

Why should pregnancy be excludet ???
Same thing happened to a friend of mine from ORD to DEN. United gave him a voucher for travel and first class seat on future flight.
Burger Kings are allowed to occupy 2 seats!
Thought #1: Should have made the fat guy stand for the duration of the flight.
Thought #2: If you cannot fit in the set with BOTH armrests down, you have to buy two seats unless, by chance, there is an unused seat on the flight.
Thought #3: If I have paid for a seat, then I expect to sit in my seat. All of my seat, not just the half that is leftover from the big guy.
Thought #4: This flight should be reported to the FAA. A hefty fine for USAir for performing the takeoff/landing with a passenger not wearing a seatbelt is likely the only method which will accelerate creation of a policy to handle this.Despite the advertising about how special we all are, in a cash-strapped business like an airline, money gets attention.

In conclusion has there been confirmation that this event really occured? If so there was a breach of FAA rules.
