Delta passenger gets half of a seat {Gadling}

Aug 3rd 2008 12:18PM Good suggestion Peter, but you forget that it's not only seat width at the bottom that is an issue. Overweight women will overlap at the bottom but overweight don't tend to carry their extra weight in their butt and thighs, it's more belly and shoulders involved with them. I have sat more often next to big men who are fine to fit in the bottom of the seat but take up half of the back of my chair with their shoulders and arms.
