Yeah, that makes sense. I guess the measure the waist thing wouldn't really work. However, like another poster said, possibly if a "seatbelt extender" is required, then maybe that would be the requirement that a COS needs to purchase another seat. I would think that with the armrests down, the fat would squish to the front. If the seatbelt extender is needed, maybe that could mean the person is too big and needs another seat? I'm not sure how big those seat belt extenders are though. Maybe that's too small of a guideline, maybe its too big.


I also agree with Tino on this. What does this rule have anything to do with flying SWA or not? Or are you a COS? If not, it doesn't seem like this should have anything to do with why you wouldn't fly SWA. All airlines have COS. All airlines basically also have the same seat widths in coach class. If the COS are in coach class on the other airlines, its the same thing. Its actually better on SWA because on the other airline, you will get stuck next to a COS and there is absolutely NOTHING you can do. If the flight if full on some other airline and you have already been assigned a seat, you cannot asked to be reassigned to a different seat. At least on SWA, you will not have to be squished by a COS because they will have to buy another seat. Now if you ARE a COS, then thats a different story. I guess I can understand your reasons for not wanting to fly SWA then. I do go back and forth on whether or not this policy is fair to COS's. But one thing is for sure. A COS can put together some sweet Mileage Runs if they want, especially if they get targeted for triple credit.
