      Good. I hope they do this elsewhere. Airlines constructed these little prisons they call seats. I remember spending hours next to a 400 pound man and getting his sweat marks for my trouble.

        Don't laugh, I have seen this done, a big guy purchased 2 seats next to each other and the allocation then gave him 2 seats in separate isles. He was not amused.

            They should start an airline for fat people. However I suspect it wouldn't take off.

                Yes. Each obese passenger should be offered two aisle seats across from one another, like seats marked C and D. But how would the stewardesses roll down the food cart?

                  Yes, yes they are. They're the Ultimate Bureaucrats.

                  Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A.

                      So - they get an extra seat for free . . . and the rest of us have to pay heavy fees if our luggage is a bit heavy. Sounds sensible to me. Canada's court is just trying to push the Flying Fat Nudist agenda.
