Erm, what if the person IS actually too fat for the seats?

Would the airline have to make changes to the plane that the 35 stone person wanted to fly on?

I'm actually curious :S

Evidently, the first thing that came up when I goggled to find out more about this, as i didnt know this was illegal...was this story http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news...d-off-jet.html.

So how come that airline isnt being prosecuted? :/
