The airlines will not of their own volition increase the width of seats to accommodate larger passengers.
Normal sized passengers do not want to pay more for larger seats that they do not need.
The solution is for the government to mandate seats large enough to accommodate all but the most freakishly obese passengers and then have arilines base the cost of each passengers ticket on the weight of the passenger on a scale at the ticket counter.
This would make all tickets more expensive, but all passengers would be comfortable, and heavier passengers would pay the cost of transporting their additional weight.
What could be fairer?
Those who object that they cannot afford to fly if the ticket prices increase will not be able to fly. It is not a constitutional right, after all.
