Trying not to be insensitive but where is the line drawn? If the airlines created some seats that were wider for "POS" (I love that) what criteria is used to decide who gets them? And when they aren't all used on a flight, which "normal sized" passengers will get them?
After the POS group, then other groups will want changes made for them. People who are in wheelchairs and are immobile may want only the seats forward in the plane. They may want their wheelchairs to take them all the way to their seats which would mean widening the aisle by taking out seats.
Just a quick story about the wider seats thing....when I worked in Honolulu, at that time we had a seasonal flight non-stop to Minneapolis. It was a 747. The upper-deck was considered economy. These seats are first class sized. I mean international first class. Very nice at the time. This particular day, we had dupe seating upstairs, meaning 2 boarding passes printed with the same seat for 2 seperate people. In the end, there was a fist-fight for this seat.
Again, I don't want to sound like I'm not empathetic or insensitive but where do airlines stop appeasing special groups?
