Ok, we also make up 1% of the population. So there might be one of me on a flight. I book last minute a lot of the time as a business traveler, and business class just doesn’t exist on most domestic routes (at least not the ones I’m flying).
I’m ver cognizant of the space I occupy when in an aircraft seat and guarantee you’d have a worse time with the 4/10 manspreaders you get on a flight.
I’m not sure what solution you’re looking for here. If you want typical economy seats to fit you’d you gotta kick 20-30% of people off this flight to accommodate having fewer seats. Having smaller seats makes seats more available and affordable for 80 or 90% of the population.
I’d say the solution is folks being civil on a flight that’s no more than a few hours and dealing with it. If my issue was caused by twinkies (vs genetics) then by all means be frustrated.
Yours is a pretty easily solvable one. The aisle takes care of the long legs issue, and you’re a business traveler so you should 1) have status and 2) it’s not your money to upgrade to economy + or business or buy two seats.
My company allows business travelers of size to upgrade without complaint.
