Southwest will now require plus-sized passengers to buy additional seats in advance, ending the previous policy that allowed them to use extra seats for free when available.

    Discrimination! What’s next? Someone with a leg prosthesis have to pay for the seat in front so he/she can stretch his/her leg? I can’t wait to hear that this is going to court. And who decides who is the large person? The flight attendants? Is there a scale on board that measures height and weight? BMI? I’ve seen flight attendants who could afford to lose a few lbs.
