If You Are Obese and Unable To Use Lavatory Should You FLy

I am retired from a major carrier and we had an obese woman fly from
west coast to east. She was too large to fit into the lavatory and she
attempted to relieve herself in the airsick bag. IMHO this woman should
have been denied boarding! What are your thoughts?

Another obese thread. It's all been said before, and now it's getting old
very fast.

Well you know the "racks" that gauge the size of a carryon ? Well, I guess
we need one that people have to be able to fit through as well:

Too Fat ? Amtrack

Not very big bathrooms there either.

The restrooms on all the Amtrak trains I've riden in the last ten years have
been large enough to be wheelchair-accessible, and then some.

They're generally filthy, but they're large.

Apparently you are also too ignorant to know that it is "AMTRAK".

It's been a while since I've taken a train. Doesn't sound too
appealing, though.

I wonder how she was able to fit into an airline seat if she couldn't
fit into the lavatory area? Perhaps she purchased 2 seats? All the
same, if one can't fit through the lavatory door I believe she should
have been denied boarding.

Wow! -- Rik

Somehow, this doesn't compute. I don't know the width of the lav door, but
it seems that if someone can't fit through the door, they shouldn't be able
to fit between the seat rows, even if two seats were purchased.
