Nadine Thompson is one of four overweight persons who sued Southwest Airlines over its policy of asking passengers who cannot fit into a seat to pay for a second one. 'I am overweight, but I'm not obese,' said Thompson, 127 kilograms (280 pounds). Thompson said she liked Southwest so much that she was a frequent flier -- until she was escorted from a flight by two armed sheriffs after refusing to buy a second ticket. 'I had my armrest down, seat belt fastened,' Thompson said, when a manager boarded the plane and told her that for the comfort and safety of herself and other passengers, she would have to buy a second ticket. The airline apologized, but too late. Her discrimination suit goes to trial in February 2006.
