This would solve so many issues... but then people would cry and cause problems, saying the airlines are being judgmental and hurting their feelings.
We, as Americans, are a bunch of whinning crying pussies who would rather stir up problems then fix them with easy solutions that could, and maybe, hurt our poor little feelings... plus, we would have to contend with the sue happy lawyers looking to get rich over every little thing.

I'm sure they could come up with some kind of system that would allow people of all shapes and sizes to be comfortable on the plane. some might have to pay a little more, but it could be done.
The interesting thing to me is how some things can be considered okay to bring up and other's are not. For example, if an airline like Southwest makes a fat person buy two tickets for their plane most people think it is okay and don't complain (although I'm sure some who are buying the tickets do). However, if you had an annoying kid fee or a crying baby fee or you even offered child free flights you know people would be up in arms about that and boycotting the airline.
