Should United charge overweight passengers for second seat?
I am watching the Daily Buzz show and they are discussing the show "Airline" and discussing if passengers should pay for two seats if they are overweight. It seems that on one of the shows they ask a passenger that is overweight to first see if they are too big for a seat and then ask him to purchase a second seat.
Does United do this? Should they do this?
On a flight two years ago on Jetblue I had to be seated next to a overweight passenger. Although I was sympathetic with the passenger I had a hard time because the whole flight I was learning out on the aisle. This was flight from SEA to JFK.
