Worst Place to Put an Armrest

The issue of XL passengers has been a tricky one for airlines. There are both comfort and safety considerations — both for the large passenger and their seatmates. What should be the policy for obese passengers who spill fat over into the aisle and seat beside them? Should they forced to pay for two seats or be given an extra seat for free? Clearly, the hide-the-armrest situation above (posted on an aviation blog called flightglobal) is not an ideal solution.

Pay for two seats. Obviously.
Be given two seats. The majority of travelers are not so extreme and it’s unfair to discriminate.
Its discriminating against non fat people to give them a free seat. It also looses money for the airline. Talk about making a unpleasant experience worse when not only do you have to deal with the annoyances of the inefficiencies of airlines and airports, but to top it off, when you get to your overpriced, oversold seat on the plane you discover you have only paid for half a seat because the guy or gal next to you was given a seat and a half for the same price.
obviously pay for two seats!
what, just because I’m thin I wouldn’t be entitled to an extra seat to spread out? that’s BS
Sure, make the fatties pay extra. Why not humiliate them at every opportunity. If they had feelings,they wouldn’t be so fat.

So I should ’share’ my seat with as you put it ‘a fattie’ just so they aren’t humiliated? Why should I ‘pay’ for their inability to control their behavior?
