Ain't nobody tell her big ass to get that big.
What’s absurd is everyone in the thread is siding with airlines, when this woman is making a really good point. These large corporations don't give a shyt about comfort or the safety of their customers.
They're currently lobbying for the below.

Airlines are lobbying for a change to federal regulations that could put one pilot in the cockpit

In the airline business, there are two cost factors the airlines can never control: fuel and labor. And as technology improves — and pilot salaries increase — there's been a controversial move lately by the industry to try to amend what's known as part 121 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. That's the federal air regulation that requires air carriers to have two pilots in the cockpit at all times.
The airlines have been quietly lobbying that the single-pilot approach would quickly solve the staffing problem caused by the pilot shortage and that technology has vastly improved to allow for safe operation of a single-pilot flight.
There's language in a new bill now introduced in Congress — the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill — asking the Federal Aviation Administration to reconsider part 121 and to allow the use of a single pilot operation, first in cargo aircraft.
Not surprisingly, airline pilots are loudly protesting this idea, claiming that it would diminish a safety discipline and culture that has been responsible for the safest 25 years in commercial aviation in the history of aviation. Pilots unions argue it's all about the airlines saving money and could compromise safety.
But many recent examples tend to confirm the unions' argument, including a 2015 crash in Europe. A co-pilot of a Germanwings flight locked the pilot out of the cockpit and deliberately crashed the plane, killing himself and 149 other people, giving credence to the ongoing argument that in an airborne crisis you need two pilots working in concert to save the aircraft — as was the case in the "Miracle on the Hudson," when pilots Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles successfully ditched a U.S. Airways flight in New York's Hudson River after the plane hit a flock Canada geese on takeoff and subsequently lost power. All 150 passengers as well as the crew were successfully rescued.
And most recently, an incident about 10 days ago occurred on an American Eagle flight from Chicago to Columbus. Shortly after takeoff, the pilot became incapacitated. The co-pilot was able to regain the controls, declare an emergency, turn the plane around and make a safe emergency landing back in O'Hare, and the pilot died later at a hospital. Had there not been a two-person crew in the cockpit, the story would have had a tragic ending.
In any case, more than 40 countries have appealed to an international aviation agency to revise standards globally to give airlines the option for a one-person cockpit crew, so the fight is just getting started.
Agreed.
These idiots don't even realize that prices have gone up as actual quality has declined. I can't stand retards.

Why is she flying when she can just swim?
Yeah..no...I'm pretty tall (6"4). Sure I can demand the airline for more leg room but I know the airline wants to maximize in their profit. It's a minor issue to me but I can't control my height.
She can control her weight though. She wants society to conform to something she can control.

Planes need bigger seats, the airlines keep making thr seating space smaller and smaller. Y'all young folks just don't know any better.
Think airline seats have gotten smaller? They have

They'll just charge extra.
If you're an airline you could actually make some money off this if you brand those bigger seats as "luxury" so non obese people can buy them too.
Put 5 or 10 seats in economy class that size and you'll make huge bank by charging a jacked up price. The obese can't complain because you say "these seats are meant for a premium flight experience, not as an accommodation for larger passengers" then spout some canned response about trying to be inclusive by being fair to everyone else and talk about the things they've done to make their planes more accessible for people with disabilities.
Because it's dumb. Future people will look back at this time like;"these goofies let snake oil salesmen come back into society
"
..its all facts
Could she even fit in the bathroom?
Plane goes down and you are sitting next to her? Its a safety hazard for her, and every passenger on that plane.
