Airline Sued for Asking Man to Buy Two Seats

Quote:
A California man says he was humiliated when Southwest employees asked him to buy a second seat on a flight because he looked too large for just one.

He calls himself a man of "ample proportion" saying he's 6-feet tall and weighed 250 pounds when he refused to buy a second seat on a plane.

He was also asked to buy a second seat on his return flight and chose to fly on United Airlines instead where he said he had no problem fitting in the seat.

Cite: The article is here.
Is a 6-foot tall man weighing 250 pounds really so big that two seats are needed?
