Obese Flyer Sues Southwest
This is off topic for MISC.CONSUMERS. Please trim headers. Pete wrote: The real question in this case is whether or not society believes we ca use a person's size as a basis for permissible or impermissible discrimination. Southwest believes that it should be allowed to discriminate, contrary to the assertion of its spokesperson. Wasn't it a former Supreme Court Justice who claimed that "your right to wave your arms stops at my nose" or something like that? The weight-challenged equivalent is "your right to spill your huge fat body ends at the border of my airline seat." What we need are passenger templates, similar to the baggage templates seen at airports, so that we can objectively measure whether a passenger can fit into one seat or will be required to buy a second seat. And then we need to enforce it upon everyone. Pete |
