RE: Southwest Airlines - upset with Policy on Overweight People

I would like to go on record and state that if there was ever a discrimination violation of human rights, this is it. I will NEVER, EVER, EVER fly Southwest, even if my life depended on it.

I don't understand why the company would open itself up to massive litigation costs. I want them to fully explain to the public why they cater to the handicapped. blind, and crippled, but don't want anything to do with fat people.
