United Airlines proudly announced a policy of charging fat passengers double if they "spill" into the seat next to them.

They say they received 700 complaints last year (out of 80 million passengers carried) from people who did not like having a fat person sit next to them and perhaps take up some of their seat space.

I am convinced that the 700 fat seatmates who didn't complain were not too happy about the situation, either. People in fat pride community have decided to try and beat that 700 complaints statistic.

We believe in one person, one ticket. I'm writing to ask you and the people you know to complain to United about this costly and discriminatory targeting of one demographic group. If this policy stands, it means fat people have less right to interstate air travel than other people. Everybody deserves a safe and comfortable chair on an airplane, at an affordable price!
