Bet Mr. Elliott's kids could figure that one out. Who is Mr. Moore to complain? The two smaller men in the window and aisle seats probably got off the plane shaking their heads about the blimp who parked himself between them.

Makes no sense to me to single out large people. Its just our societys way of discriminating, again. And as far as airlines losing valuable cargo shipments due to large people, that is a lie. I work for an airline. The weight of the people on board in no way affects the cargo bay. Lets not use lies or make up stories to get our point across, eh, Det?

Larger people should be treated with respect, just like everyone else. Some of their inability to control their large girth is many times others' fault. Don't hate-- I've got big family members, and they try to control it, but they've got disabilities that prevent them from doing so. Det, that’s awful.

Their inability to control their large girth is no ones fault but their own. Airlines lose valuable cargo shipments due to those individuals.
