Large Passengers (very very large)

Does co have a policy on large passengers. I was on co 48 this morning booked full no upgrade. So I sat in my exit row aisle seat. Another plat across the row from me. His window seat had a man who would not fit with the armrest down and he need a seatbelt extender. He must have been 400 + lbs. Along comes my middle seatmate. He is an easy 450+ cant fit with the armrests and I m getting crushed. Im not so small at 6'3. A deadheading flight attendent gets the middle seat accross the aisle. The last man to board was also huge and he had the middle seat in the first emergency exit row.

I did not say anything in front of my fellow passengers because I felt bad for the guys. But iah-ewr is 3plus hours. It sucked. Since I was in an emergency row I almost told the fas that I was not willing to help out in an emergency. Also as far as safty goes these three guys would never have fit out of an over wing exit on a 739.

The best part of it all was that the movie today was fat albert.
