If airlines worked like the cable companies…

Airlines decide to remove armrests to attempt to fit 3 people into each 2 seats to reduce cost, even though they’ve told the customer that they have a full seat (they blindfold them on their way into the plane, so most don’t notice). They pass part of this cost benefit onto the customer. Then, obese people are on the plane and people start complaining that they are squished. The airlines complain to the government about people that take up an entire seat, but the obese people claim they bought those seats.
