What’s it like to fly when you’re fat?

Now mind you, Bridget was sitting at a window seat two rows away from the bathroom at the back of the plane. Her getting off would require her seatmate getting up to let her out, then a long walk from the back of the plane to the front of the plane with everyone looking, wondering, and judging. as she walked by.

Bridget had already been on the plane, already settled in her seat, but then removed from the plane and humiliated because she was fat. Nobody would have blamed her if she decided not to get back on. But she did. The gate attendant officially reserved the seat next to Bridget as per the Southwest customer of size policy and then walked her back down the jet bridge and onto the plane.

We don't know exactly why the flight attendant wanted Bridget to reserve the seat next to her as per the customer of size policy, but based on this interaction with the gate agent, my speculation is that the flight attendant who was deadheading didn't want to sit next to Bridget. But since that was the only available cabin seat on the flight, that's where they would have to sit.

But if that seat were taken, then they would be able to sit in one of the available jump seats away from the main cabin. We don't know this for sure because Southwest never responded to Bridget's complaint that she would file later. Nevertheless, the gate agent wanted to confirm that after all this trouble, nobody would be sitting next to Bridget.

Bridget made it to her destination safely without further incident. And until I asked her to tell me the story for Wait For It, hadn't planned on talking about it again. I asked her why, and this was her response.

Bridget's story is my worst nightmare. Being marched off a full plane, then back on with everyone's eyes on you. People likely blaming you for the flight being delayed. She said it herself. It was humiliating. And I can relate to her tendency to blame herself. I assume that most things are my fault because I'm fat, even more so when it comes to flying.
