Club Round director of Loves Park rankled by airline policy on seats for heavy people

United Airlines new policy on charging some overweight people for two seats rankles Lisa Breisch, a psychotherapist and director of Club Round of Loves Park. 
In an e-mail, she calls the policy of United and other airlines “horrible.” She says the seat sizes are “ridiculously small even for ‘average-sized’ people,” that the airlines should seat larger customers next to empty seats if there are any at no extra charge and that the airlines should upgrade larger customers to the bigger, first class seats for free or at a discount.
“My mother and I (both plus size) were able to get first-class seating through Aeromexico on a recent trip to Cancun for only $50 each. The seats are larger and more comfortable. … I also requested a seat belt extender with much courtesy and discreetness by the airline stewardess. … Now, if one airline can do this, why can’t another?”
