Good perspective. Southwest is a solid company that does a lot of things right. I think Kevin is taking the low road, but as you say, it's probably due to embarrassment, which is certainly understandable. But as you point out, they didn't say, "You're too fat! Lose weight!" They just stand by their policy that if he wants to fly SWA, he has to buy another seat like everyone else who doesn't fit in the 17" space... Here's the funny part, it would already have been sufficiently buried in the past and no one would even be talking about it, had he just let it go. MS I agree with you, Craig. Good perspective.
