Well... technically... yes
The morbidly obese passenger was able to sit in the seat with the armrest down... but, the rolls of fat extended over the armrest onto my side, and the rolls of fat at hip-level extended across from below the armrest into my seat and against my hip. Her arm fat extended across into my space and against my shoulder. The armrest provided no barrier whatsoever - it was litterally burried in adipose.
The policy states, "if the passenger can sit comfortably in one seat with the armrests down...", but what morbidly obese passenger will admit that they are uncomfortable? There is no way that that morbidly obese lady was comfortable with the armrests digging into her from both sides... but I'm sure she didn't want to pay for a second seat.
I still haven't received a reply from Alaska Air.
