This has been the policy at Southwest for quite some time.

Me neither having made a few flights beside people like this ... well
not quite 350 lbs, but anything over 250 is too much of they are less
than 6' tall.

I think airlines should charge by the pound for tickets. :-)

Jay Leno mentioned this in his monolog last night.
He mentioned that the two seats were right and left window seats.

Yeah, hasn't this guy ever watched A&E's show "Airline", with Southwest
making people buy two seats all the time?

It also showed me that you'd better not be late to their gates, or come
drunk or noisy from a bar!!

With the exception of being drunk, thats why I fly private (I don't fly
when drunk, though), I get to make my own schedule and adjust it as I
go.

I used to fly US Air between Cleveland and Ottawa (with a change in
Pittsburgh) fairly regularly, and I swear it was US Air's policy to put
guys in the exit rows who were so fat they were panting from the effort of
walking half way down the length of the plane. If you're a Monty Python
fan, think "Mr. Creosote". I'd spent the whole flight wondering how you'd
tunnel through one of these lard mountains if you needed to get out that
exit door, because they sure as hell couldn't get through them even if
they survived the effort of opening the door.
