Based upon passenger complaints?

Do they decide AFTER the person is in their seat?

Anyone know?

from what I read, you have to be able to put down the arm rest or something, if you cant, you are booted.

thats just what Ive read in the articles though. He claims he could put arm rest down with no problem.

I jhope he loses the weight, hes good director and I loved most of his stuff except that Amy crap. Although even that had some good dialogu if I recall correctly, I only watched it once and barely did...

Filmmaker Kevin Smith, fresh from delivering a speech at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco, unleashed his fury on Southwest Airlines after the pilot on Smith's flight from Oakland to Burbank ejected him for being "too fat to fly" Saturday evening.

But lose it in a healthy way. In one of his books he talks about the last time he lost it he did one of those liquid only diets and physically didn't eat anything for months. What a shocker it all came back and brought buddies then.

Fletch XXX 02-15-2010 07:40 AM

well it seems he bought two seats going there but could only get single seat on way back:

Quote:

Both Smith and the airline acknowledged that he had bought two seats for his original flight from Oakland, where he had spoken at the Macworld Expo conference. But he was flying standby in order to catch an earlier flight, and only one seat was available.
hopefully this embarrassment will cause him to go for the weightloss as he has been saying he needs to lose weight for years now.

speculate much? ;) LOL

The airline was not able to give him a second seat on his return flight, had nothing to do with marijuana. :1orglaugh

glad to hear he still smokes the medicine though, good for him. ;)

I have no problem with people smoking. He, himself, said on that night that he nearly didn't come out on stage since he was so stoned. He, himself, has said many times it has taken over his life in many ways. Sure, I was speculating but it wouldn't be out of the line of his current public behaviour.

Fletch XXX 02-15-2010 08:18 AM

Well on the subject of smoking marijuana, and even flying with it in California, is perfectly legal to do.

In California you can fly from Oakland to Burbank with weed, legally.

Something tells me if Kevin Smith is an avid pot smoker, the way it is rumored to be so, he has legal medical marijuana card, which means not only can he fly with weed, he can legally "take" his meds before flying and no one can do anything.

Flying with marijuana is not a crime in California if you have med card. I believe you can carry up to a pound with you. The law specifically was made for Oakland folks to fly to SOCAL. :)

I think this is fair, what about the guy that had to sit next to his fat-ass? Fuck, if you don't want these kind of problems DON'T GET THAT FAT! It's one thing to be 20-40lbs overweight, but when you start taking up two fucking seats on a plane then you deserve it. Hopefully the embarrassment will force his fatass to stop eating shit food 10 times a day and get on a fucking treadmill. Who knows, maybe southwest saved his life.

dyna mo 02-15-2010 08:36 AM

oakland aiport is the ONLY one who has a policy on mm when boarding and it's 8oz max. try and carry 8oz onto an airplane in any other cali airport and you are opening yourself up to serious risk.

Roald 02-15-2010 08:48 AM

he deserves it 1000% I had a last minute flight from SE asia to tokyo and then onwards. I was waitlisted for biz class and did not get it, had a middle seat between 2 fat fucks and literally almost lost it. I wanted to stand the whole way by the toilets, but could not because of terrorist shit. Literally almost got belligerent stuck between these two.

Same goes for families with infants on long haul flights.

fatfoo 02-15-2010 08:59 AM

Look, I made some lyrics:

"I want to fly away, but I'm too fat too fly"

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

96ukssob 02-15-2010 09:42 AM

Im not the smallest of guys, but I can say you have to be pretty bit to cause problems.

I was just on a flight from SFO to LAX and they had to move someone sitting next to this lady because she was so large she was taking up almost both seats.

I've been on a number of flights tho where people are just to big to fit in the seats. Felt bad for one couple tho because the stewardess were making fun of her. If you that fat then you should know that you either have to buy a first class ticket or two coach seats.

Hey @SouthwestAir! Look how fat I am on your plane! Quick! Throw me off!
You can listen to him go off about it on his SmodCast - be prepared, he's long winded as all fuck. I think he doesn't get kicked off the plane until like 45 mins in.

poncabare 02-15-2010 10:03 AM

stop eating like a maniac

Tom_PM 02-15-2010 10:07 AM

He can go off all he wants, the fact is that he had 2 tickets for his scheduled flight, but gambled on a standby! The dude should not have been allowed to board until some peon jackass picked up a phone and checked if there were ANY side-by-side double seats left open. Game, set, match. Thats why they're called gambles. He should shut his whine hole.

Would he not have more room if he just flew on another airline and upgraded to first class? Seems not only would that be more comfortable it might even be cheaper then buying 2 coach seats?

Phoenix 02-15-2010 10:35 AM

i feel bad for him a bit...i mean food is just so good

today i went to a breakfast place...and ate eggs hollandaise and also side of french toast

course im only 205 and 6ft...and i work out and play bball weekly

oh wait i dont feel that bad for him....if you want to eat folks you need to be working out lots

Something makes me think that this incident is going to make an appearance in the next Jay and Silent Bob movie.

At this point it would take an act of god to get that movie made. Not only woul Smith need to get strapped onto a treadmill but I saw Jason Mewes a few months back, I would compare him to Corey Haim, he's that bad.

He's not as skinny as he was after Strike Back, but he's practically going on the nod in the middle of the day. :(

When the guy that kept you straight is having his own issues it isn't shocking.

arock10 02-15-2010 12:37 PM

he should just buy 2 seats, he is fucking kevin smith

DF03 02-15-2010 02:11 PM

Southwest is right. He's a fatass and should have the common courtesy and respect for his fellow passengers to buy a 2nd seat.

Wizzo 02-15-2010 02:32 PM

On my Continental flight to LA, this lady who was around 300lbs and had like a 50lb toddler to boot wasn't allowed to fly because I'm fairly sure she couldn't have fit in her middle seat much less with her kid on her lap, I had to wonder what she was thinking or if she had even ever been on a plane.

pornguy 02-15-2010 02:40 PM

Saw a thing not long ago about a woman who bought some sort of small ford or what ever.. She weighed about 400 pounds. The car was haiving alignment issues and even though under warranty after like the 4th fix they finally told her that it was her body weight that was causing the issue.. It was like a ford festiva and was not built to move that soot of weight on one side of the car.

She is of course in the American fashion suing the dealership.

I was thinking the same thing.

Tom_PM 02-15-2010 02:58 PM

He did buy two seats for his scheduled flight. Then he got in the standby line. That plane didnt have 2 side-by-side seats. So he got kicked and inserted into the news cycle.

rowan 02-15-2010 03:28 PM

I saw an ep of Air Crash Investigation where a smaller regional aircraft was overloaded (and crashed) because their takeoff weight calculations assume an average passenger weight, which was last figured in the 1970s or something... much of the world has gotten heavier since.

TheDoc 02-15-2010 03:36 PM

I wish I could buy extra leg room... when people lay back the seat it crushes my legs - and I want something to put my laptop on so the emergency row isn't cutting it.

Screw you short fat turds, it isn't fair you can buy another seat for your belly but I can't buy 3 more inches of leg room.

V_RocKs 02-15-2010 04:06 PM

Pilots are so cool.

JaneB 02-15-2010 09:29 PM

I wish all airlines would make people over a certain weight buy two seats. It isn't right when you sit next to a large person and they take up a part of your seat. I have had that happen twice and it sucked big time.

BFT3K 02-15-2010 09:45 PM

Planes should offer 3 seating options... 1) Regular Size - 2) Super Size - 3) First Class

If the Super Size option cost twice as much as Regular Size because you got a much bigger seat, with more leg room, and the ability to actually recline and sleep, then I bet lots of people would choose this anyway - not just fat people.

Flying generally sucks if you ask me - especially if the flight is a long one.

If you're flying international with your wife/gf, check out Air NZ's new "cuddle class":

Price is only 2.5 regular economy tickets total, so for couples it's a cheap way into the mile high club.
