Fly Fat @$$, Fly!









I'm sure you've all heard Kevin Smith is fighting back after Southwest Airlines kicked him off a flight for being too fat. That after buying two tickets, as per policies, but then moving to an earlier flight in which only one seat was available.

Generally speaking, I'm all for celebrities ripping into big corporations. They're picking on them, just like they do on us, but they know we can do little about it when they walk all over us. Along comes a celebrity, or a news channel willing to pick up the story, and all the sudden they're apologizing, and are interested in doing the right thing.

I've had it up to my eyeballs with companies whose general policy is pushing back and pushing back, until you get to a high enough level that someone gives in and reluctanty fulfills your absolutely reasonable, or often beyond obvious, request.

That's why I say, if Southwest Airlines is trying to ground you, show 'em who's boss and "Fly Fat @$$, Fly!"
