Don't worry: wall of the plane was opened & I was airlifted out while Richard Simmons supervised.

haha burn on the airline for handling it poorly. Why wait until he was seated on the flight?
Shit, before long they'll have a mock-up seat in the check-in area that you have to sit in to make sure you'll fit (like carry-on luggage though those are often ignored from what I've seen on my recent travels)

He's not really all that fat though.

There was even a fatter guy in a middle seat a couple of rows back. Why didn't he get kicked off?
Southwest fucked up, life goes on

As someone who's done a bit of piloting of light planes I don't blame them, you've spent a bit of time working out the distance, your reserve, weight carried according to average human beings weight, plus their luggage so that we dont run out of fuel and end up smacking into a paddock in the middle of nowhere.
Way I figure it the average adult human being is about 75kg, if I get a few that are a little lighter or a little heavier it'll be right. If I have someone that's more than +50% to double that I fully expect them to sit on the runway and cry that lazy fat away under a hail of my derision or amputate something... or they can walk.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on all points, but my main point is that Southwest fucked up by allowing the fattie to stow his luggage in the overhead and sit down in his seat before they told him he was a "safety risk". (He knows he's fat and would rather have them tell him that ).
I take it you're not in the least bit interested in seeing Cop Out then nou?

this...
unless he doubled his weight since i last saw him on film he's really not that fat.. and if he can fit in a seat, which he obviously could it's pretty retarded and humiliating doing it at the last minute like that...
