Southwest Says Passenger Too Wide to Fly?

March 17, 2016: Low-cost favorite Southwest Airlines made headlines recently by tossing off a passenger who they said was “too wide” to fly on one of their Oakland-Burbank flights. Unfortunately they picked on the wrong passenger, film director, Kevin Smith, who had a big following on Twitter and used his audience to slam the airline. Maybe airline seat travel requirements — weight, size, etc. — aren’t too far off? (kind of like posted theme park requirements for many thrill rides?)
