that an airline ticket is sold by the seat, not by the passenger, I'm having a difficult time understanding why you think the burden of proof shouldn't be on you.

It’s public transportation. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

I didn’t realize the airlines were owned by local/state governments

It’s open to be used by the public. That’s how public transportation is defined.

Absolute and solid nope. I bought that seat. You don’t get it cause you’re fat. You want more room because you can’t

I disagree with the notion that you buy a seat, per se.

What do you buy when you select a seat on a flight?

The right to be transported from A to B.

It is absolutely a guarantee as to a specific amount of space. It is part of the travel contract. They can switch you

Having the right to sit down (rather than stand) does not make your point.

How about you point to where it says someone has a right to ooze into someone

Haha. That makes no sense.

Yes I can point you to that language, but I am not going to waste my time. Look up airline contracts and you will find

It took less than 5 mins to find and post the below information. If you actually wanted the truth, you'd have done it.

You guys are arguing there’s something in the contract, and expect me to

Your side brought up the contract and the argument that it supports your view.

Thanks for doing that. CDV is really busy.

Just read through the contract. Everything in it says that your ticket entitles you to one seat and any

Byron McNertney

Selling by the seat doesn’t make your point, unless the contract
