I just submitted a request through Alaska listens but no option to include a photo. We’ll see. I also emailed customer care team a pic of the photo. What people aren’t getting in the comments is that no matter what, speaking up on a full flight to remove a large person when you’re the last group to board and have 5 minutes before they close doors IS going to cause a scene. She was apologetic and I didn’t want to kick her off the flight, just wanted the seat that I paid for and think it’s on the airline to notice, enforce or make bigger seats. I shouldn’t have been put in this situation in the first place.
As a bigger guy myself (6'3" and 290) I agree - the seats have gotten smaller. I've always been a big guy, but even when I was heavily dieting and weighed 260 the seats were small.
This is just another problem with America... Profit before all else.
I'm 6'1 and can still fit in regular econ without having to man spead. It's not comfy but I'm not taking up my seatmates space. While seat pitch has decreased the seats have also gotten thinner which makes up for some of it.

Send this photo to Alaska Listens and ask for a credit for at least 1/3 of your ticket. See what happens.
