My Petition is back! No explanation for why it was gone. On Friday, I will close the petition, edit it for trolls and send it to United.
Until then please CONTACT United first then sign the petition.

Be sure to also sign this petition too.
There is
also a site out run by a victim of United Airlines to register complaints . If you are treated poorly by United due to
your size, complain to United but also register it here at Untied. If you read this site you will see United is
a poorly run company who doesn't give a damn about their customers.
Here is a positives story about the United debacle.
Cassandra: What constitutes fat is subjective Good article on the psychology damage this policy can do to people.
Finally, after a couple of complaints from users, I have decided to close commenting after one month and remove nasty posts. Debates and disagreements will remain unless they include name calling.
My apologies. I was unaware that implying that science is the closest to fact we could get might be offensive. If you are going to write about fat to educate the masses you ought to know a thing or two about fat.

Kiona,
I killed your post because of your vague and outright insults.

That's funny Kiona - I didn't see you provide ONE link to any peer-reviewed studies on obesity or weight issues.
And seeing that a month has passed, it's doubtful you'll ever provide such evidence. In other words, the blog author was correct about your presence at this blog.

Hi Lara! Keep up the good fight! I work for ITI Web Stores...one of their sites is www.extend-its.com. Extend-ITs provides FAA-approved seat belt extenders as well as useful travel accessories. Our site also includes information on airline seating charts and seat sizes as well as our very popular "Flying Large" brochure which is in its fourth printing. Since 2001, we have sold thousands of seat belt extenders to help our fellow large travelers to fly without fear or embarassment. Love your site!!
