It's child's play to find a doctor who will write a note for just about any reason.

As someone who was told last fall, that the arm rest must be raised or I can't fit in the seat by the person sitting next to me, I wish she had been made to purchase two seats. She had the middle seat and neither arm rest could be put down. Made for a very uncomfortable three hour flight.

Like I said: not a perfect solution. (What you said was what I had in mind when I wrote that.) But does anyone have a better idea to answer DeafFlyer's question?
I will say it again. If we mandate by law a minimum seat width that matches a cheap office chair the problem will go away.
Sure there might be a few less seats on a plane and some folks say prices might go up a bit (They wont. Under a free enterprise system a seat will sell for what a seat will sell for).
If they can legislate how much room a dog must have while on board why do people count for less?
It is too bad we must legislate common decency.
