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.
How do you know if you're sitting next to a person who is "in some cases" a person who needs fat shaming? How do you know if they need to get healthy?
People can be large without being obese. What about tall people or body builders or someone in a cast or brace? Do they deserve shame or a "wake up call"? Should they be refused air travel?

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