You know it's a bad day....

If there are concessions for children etc, why not for morbidly obese people to pay a premium. What would happen if half the seats were taken up with people like him:
a - the plane would be full (with only half the number of people) but with only half the revenue possible
b - surely extra fuel would be needed (possibly)
c- the H&S aspect

The size of some people frightens me these days! I'm surprised he didn't get two seats to be honest. I'm sure my backside would hurt if I was sat like that!

He didn't want to pay for two apparently. Was in the paper.

Poor guy. Not only has he got a weight problem, he must feel completely destroyed and embarassed in such a seat and then gets mocked across forums and news websites across the world after some flight attendant decides to take the picture without his knowledge. Some people eat too much but some do not. Never met a larger person like that who was not jolly and pleasant to deal with. You can see from his head height he is probably a very big guy even before the weight.

I know other websites have said the pic is genuine but i would not be surprised to find out it was photoshopped for exaggeration. Cut him some slack though as he has to live inside that body and deal with the giggles and jokes at his expense i bet on a daily basis. As i say, it may not be his fault hes that big. Some people are just addicted to food too, as much as others are addicted to other things.
