Passenger forced to stand for seven hours on U.S. Airways
A passenger had to stand during a seven-hour flight after a morbidly obese man sitting next to him made it impossible to get into his seat. Arthur Berkowitz said his 400lb neighbour on US Airways Flight 901 from Anchorage to Philadelphia spilled over into his personal space. He was not able to sit in his seat, could not move elsewhere in the aircraft because it was full and was therefore forced to stand up. (www.dailymail.co.uk) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Interesting how the story is from July and just in the news now.
Also, it looks like it's just a seasonal route for US Airways: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AWE901

how do you even get down the aisle if you are this large?

Obese man should NOT be allowed to fly he is a risk to other people, ie: blocking exit in an emergency, not moving fast enough etc., I make no apologies obese people should NOT be allowed to fly.
Obese people should not fly as they are a risk to others ie: block emergency exit, slow moving, and making others uncomfortable because of their own self inflicted size. No apologies. If they must fly, charge them for two seats and accommodate the oversized on their own do not inflict them on anyone else.
The airline must take responsibility for accepting the booking of a grossly obese person in the first place.

In conclusion has there been confirmation that this event really occured? If so there was a breach of FAA rules.
