Actually the policy is the chubby ones have to buy an extra ticket and if it turns out that that they don’t need it (not a full flight) they get a refund. Pretty darn reasonable I think.

Hey I could go for that one!
But what do they consider a full flight? 80%? 90%? Something like "If the flight is 80% or less full you get a refund" sounds reasonable to me.

I look at it like this:

Example 1:

Fat Lady purchased a ticket for $150, you pissed her off she "never fly's on your airline again"
Total XYZ Airlines Made: $150

Example 2:

Fat Lady purchased a ticket for $150, you let her stand-by for a space available extra seat, she fly's your airline twice a year for 10 years.
Total ABC Airlines Made: $3,000

Now if your Mr. CEO trying to stay in the black, which would you rather?
