I'm overweight and would say yes... but with certain adjustments.

Airlines should have their seating spaced so as to reflect the median of the served population. It's certainly not the airlines' fault that I'm overweight, but it's not my fault that the airline has spaced the seats so that only an Ethiopian famine victim would be comfortable.

Airline seating should be classified just like cars. Auto makers can't call a sub-compact a full-sized car.

Size the seats accordingly and then seat passengers where they fit rather than what price they would like to pay. If a huge passenger doesn't want to pay to fly first class and won't fit in lower class seats... well, there are other forms of transport available.

Yeppers,
The European car is definitely smaller than the American car....

However,
Most Europeans (generally speaking) are smaller (weigh less) than Americans too..:kilroy:
 
Car size........check out the size of the US compared to most Euro nations. Who wants to drive from NY to FLA in a sub-compact car? Not me!!:d
 
You all seem to see my point. :)

Why size seats for European passengers when you service the Continental United States? It don't make sense and it isn't fair to charge extra just because you can't figure out what continent you're on.
