Southwest tells mother & daughter they are too fat to fly

I agree women are judged more harshly because of their looks but more often than not other women are doing the judging. No man IMO is ever as critical about the way a woman looks as other women.

My MO has always been live and let live just hate bs hypocrisy.

 

Neither of you pass, because you missed the points of her complaint. He told her she was "TOO FAT TO FLY" (forget that she flies all the time domestic and International with no problem) When asked for the airline's specific specs on it, he was clueless.

Her second complaint was his ignorant approach. Policy states do it in private, which he didn't. They're to recommend a passenger pre-test a seat - they didn't. He asked personal questions not part of the company's procedure, in front of 100 people. Remember...she was on a LAY-OVER. Which meant Southwest employees did not think from the time she bought her ticket, checked in, boarded and flew, that she was too fat to fly. Just the guy at the lay-over gate.

Her complaint isn't about fat people having to buy 2 tickets, rather it's about Southwest not following their own company policy. When she has the Airline CEO back her up on her complaints, you know she's in the right.

 

You'll have to ask mama, she's the one who called him that.

 

Damn good reply.

 

cuz the ALWAYS got there...I always get called a "digusting human being" in rep comments or something alone those lines.

I'm laughing that yall havn't found an opening yet to go there.

 

This, too! Southwest does it all the time, and they've been nailed for it before.

Agreed, The homebody who was asking the questions should've known what he was doing. Now you guys know me as someone who has low sympathy for
obese individuals. At least since the majority of Americans are overweight, and 30% is obese, you have tons of people being concerned over them.
But being skinny gives you universally accepted ridicule. I know, I was a guy
who was 6"2 and 130 pounds and an error on the machine when it said body fat. I got ridiculed left and right being called a stick and what have you, no one comes to the rescue like when people are obese. So I decided to make
a change, starting hitting the gym last august and went from 130 to 180
lbs. It was hella hard, spending over 100 bucks each month on weight gaining
and protein products. Food bill shooting up from 200 bucks to 400.

Said all of that to basically show I'm not one of those individuals who tip toe
around obesity. But the guy as a worker, should have know the procedures
and protocols for the company he's working for. By him not knowing made
the company appear unprofessional and a possible needing of changing their
training procedures.

 

:smt023 You get it.

 

like Iggy et al said, buy two tickets, shut the fuck up, or get the hell off


no one should have to fly uncomfortably because of some inconsiderate big jawn, that doesn't care if she's squeezing the hell out of ya

shit reminds me of riding public transportation here, where a big mothafucka comes over and sits next to me. got me all in the fetal position and shit.

 

Lol

 

seriously this shit is funny

you know i'm a big, tall guy

you know you're obese

we got two seats, 4 chins (you got 3) and zero space, do the math mothafuckas

 

Your be insensitive Petty. These are real people with emotions lol

 

If you're a big, tall guy, then you should buy the seat in front of you so your knees don't butt up against the back of my seat an annoy the shit out of me.

You should also buy the seats next to you if you're broad-shouldered. Nothing worse than sitting next to a guy who's shoulders are so wide that you can't even sit up straight- you have to sit AROUND his shoulders.

What about the math?

 

buy two seats

im happy and you're short a buck-fiddy, but you did the right thing. Dammit I really hate when people sit on me. If I sit my ass on you for any fucking reason, I bet you'll be upset right?

 

For the Win

 

let's not forget the assholes that feel it necessary to recline their seat back...give me a break...it's not that long of a flight:smt071

 

so true!:smt043

This country has become waaaaay two PC
