Much to my chagrin (and possible cost), I must side with Southwest. I am no longer the skinny kid who went off to college 33 years ago. For some people their size may not be their fault, but for me it is -- I know what I should do to shrink myself, and I just haven't done it. Mea culpa. Now a clever thing to do is to put two guys like me in the same row, and only charge us 50% more. But, that's just haggling. john -- John F. Kurtzke, C.S.C.
