Not to take the light off the OP but let's look at Southwest's policy, according to the tv show. The guy they brought down fit in the seat, per the CSA, they fit. That is degrading and humliating for that passenger and rightfully, because there ended up being no issue, has a complaint with the airline. If each "large" passenger was made to test check their seat first, that could lead to huge (pardon the pun) issues when boarding an aircraft, especially in the (mid) U.S. We might need a lawyer at every gate. I'm gonna go on record as saying there is no good solution. Hard to tell a person to buy another seat at boarding time and hard to tell a person sitting next to a large person that there is nothing they can do about it. So, when a flight is full, what would be a good solution? I don't have one.
