Passenger forced to stand for seven hours on U.S. Airways flight because of 400-POUND

A passenger flying from Anchorage, Alaska to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is forced to stand for over seven hours because his co-seat mate was so obese that he took up half of the man's seat so he was unable to sit in his seat.

If the obese guy was really a gentleman, he would have volunteered to wait until the next flight. $200 in compensation is pretty weak too.
