They’re “celebrating” giving morbidly obese people special privileges because they’re a fat fucking lump who cant fit in a seat designed for normal people.

Phase 2 is complaining about how the aisles and toilet doors are too narrow. Phase 3 is removing a row of seats to provide a delicious buffet.

So can I identify as a "passenger of size" to get the overhead bin to myself? Trans fats are fats!

That's my plan. Why shouldn't I get 3 seats to myself?

If you've tried to get something from a Southwest flight attendant since, oh about when they bought ValueJet (cum Air Tran), you know this will not go well.

I dunno when it was "fly the friendly skies." They're some of the worst, now, IMO.

I hate that you can't pick your seat, so it's a race to hit the pre-check in button 24 hours before if you don't want to get stuck in a middle seat.

Yeah that always sucked. Other stuff got worse. I never had to do much of the "wander around Texas" thing that made SW so famous in the good old days. It is relevant that on a 45m flight, it matters a lot less, since you spend that much time boarding n sheeit. They fly a lot of places now but are basically just a budget carrier. About the only thing that's nice still is their baggage allowance.

You can pay to get your bag on the plane. That's the luxury now.

If the flying bus thinks it's worth spending two people's worth of fuel on one hamplanet while its stock price is at plandemic lows, who am I to argue.

You should, airlines were the government bailout every couple of years before banks, cars, and black rock started begging

Until you get bumped out of the seat you paid for to some random seat "oh, you took aisle exit row? Too bad. A fatty needs your seat. Now you're middle seat all the way in the back."

If anything the fat passenger should be the one getting shuffled around.

I lost a lot of weight this year

And they're rewarding fatsos

Regardless of anything external, good job on losing weight. Getting healthier is its own reward in how you look and feel.

Thanks, man.

Yesterday, I weighed myself, and found I'd gotten under 200 pounds for the first time in almost two decades.

Still got a lot of work to do to reach my target weight, but I can no longer keep my pants or shorts up without tying them or using a belt. That's a good feeling, man.

Meanwhile on the planes themselves:

"WE NEED MORE THRUST TO TAKE OFF WITH EXTRA WEIGHT!!"

"I canne doo it captain! The engines can't handle anymore powerr!!"

All passengers, this is the captain speaking. Start waving your arms up and down to generate extra lift!

If the fatties could do that a few minutes each day, they wouldn't be so damn fat.

I tried this on AI image generation:

“Draw an image of a fat redditor” - rejected

“Draw an image of a plus sized redditor” - fat fuck redditor was generated.

I don't care. Good for them, make retarded business policies, see if I care. Get wrecked, woke corps.

it might be to balance the plane. If a land whale takes up so much space, it would be dangerous not to have every other passenger counterbalance his fat ass.

they're allowing fat fucks to fly for free?? or they pay for one seat, get the others for free?

Southwest only charges for one seat per person, even if said person physically takes up 2-3 seats.

Meanwhile. I can’t let my 1 year old lie down on one of the 4 vacant seats next to me on a five hour flight because “I didn’t pay for an extra seat”

Clown world max.

Beats sitting next to a fat person. IDC if they get a row. That's Southwest's problem

They will reverse this policy within a year.

Is this on smaller flights too? They used to ask your weight on some planes and of course you'd always see some XXXL fat fuck say something like 140, then someone else with sense would be forced to take one for the team and say they were 460 to compensate.

Has this changed? Will they proudly give an accurate estimate now or will they keep bullshitting everybody?
