One wonders if there will be a seat, with seat belts (and an extender), at every gate, in order to "test fit" passengers to determine if there will be an extra charge. This airline needs to get real -- this idea won't "fly". A couple lawsuit threats and this policy will go the way of free meals for cabin class passengers.
