Current Events > This OBESE Colorado Man was left HUMILIATED by Spirit Airlines!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Jose Cordova from Colorado was left HUMILIATED by Spirits Airlines after he bought an extra seat on the airlines due to his size as he knew he would take up 2 seats and wouldn't feel comfortable in one.

He purchased the seats in 2 neighboring flights to and from Las Vegas for get away with 2 friends.

He said "I am a big person and i knew one seat wouldn't fit for me and to be comfortable, i wanted to have 2 seats"

His friend, Scott Tenorio called ahead of time to ask for a seat belt extender for his friend in attempt to be proactive.

The flight to Las Vegas went ahead without issue but on the flight back, Spirit Airlines gave away one of his seats without asking because the flight was overbooked. Unwilling ot take a voucher and a later flight, the airline forced him to move..

Jose said "I told them i had bought 2 seats. They said, well, talk to them when you get off the plane."

He felt humiliated as his friend said people were watching him and it's almost like, Oh my god, I've got ot sit next to that??"

Spirit Airlines released a statement stating it is looking into the circumstances and they have refunded his tickets and are working with him to "make it right"

Have you ever seen a fat person take up 2 seats before? let's see if people have

Fat people shouldn't get special privileges. If an actual normal human being purchased two seats but wasn't fat enough to take them both, he would look even more ridiculous not giving the seat up. Sure go ahead and refund him.

And the dirty looks he gets doesn't mean anything. He should know that no one wants to sit next to him/it. Dude probably stinks

Nah, fuck that. I'm a normal size person, but if I buy two tickets then those two seats are effectively mine. There's no safety issue involved. These airlines just keep fucking with their customers because they know the demand is so great and most people will just back down.

It's a bit ridiculous that they gave enough notice that he'd need a belt extender and it still wasn't enough.

Who said anything about special privileges

We're talking about someone effectively getting ripped off. Idgaf about his feelings, if he doesn't want to be looked at lose weight, but that's not the issue here. The issue is that he paid for two seats, so he should get two seats.

Fat shaming needs to be acceptable.

If he bought 2 tickets then they are his and the airline shouldn't be able to take them away so once again another airline fucked up.

But holy crap dude lose some weight, what a dat pig.
Does he have no shame?

He seems to be filled with shame.

LMAO what an unfortunate body shape, that's the most pear-shaped guy I've seen for a while.

But he paid for two seats, which is the proper thing to do, so good on him, and the airline should have given him two seats. He did what's best for him and everybody else; I don't see how anybody could blame him unless you just want to hate on fat people.

Spirit being Spirit. I would rather take a chance of getting my ass kicked on an United Flight then use Spirit .
