If an airline like SWA began letting "larger" folks squeeze into one seat to the chagrin of other paying passengers, they're going to lose far more business than if you require a few large people to pay for an extra seat.

Who said anything about letting them inconvenience any other passengers? Or giving them another seat that SWA could have sold?

More than once I said "Stand by for an open seat or pay for a guaranteed seat". In this case standby would mean sitting at the gate until closing time when all the other priority standby's were processed and if there were 2 or more open seats side by side letting the large lady sit in them, if there were not, she’d have to wait for the next plane. How could SWA possibly loose money or inconvenience another customer?
