I suppose that's different, then.  You'd expect that they'd at least
allow for that.

No, I'm talking about the people that flow out of their seat with the
arm-rest lodged somewhere in their side.  I've BTDT, and since slimmed

True.  I, in fact, take about 1.1 southwest seats because my shoulders
and hips (just the skeletal part, not anything covering them) are
sligthly wider than the distance between the arm-rests.

Again, I think I (and Southwest) am talking about a totally different
level of "doesn't fit", but your experience may be showing otherwise.
