Delta Airlines ‘Shamed’ by Model

Apparently…

Plus-size model shames Delta Air Lines after she was unable to fasten her seatbelt

Have to say I’m unconvinced by the emotional headline. Unless Delta Airlines is found to be installing excessively short seatbelts that is.

Batfitch.

She looks like Stiffler's Mum pre Peloton.

5000 other people have sat in that seat without issue.

There's a problem now she's sitting in it.

But it's not her fault, it's the airlines...

Delta provide seat belt extenders, so I'm not sure what all the fuss is, other than attention seeking. They also offer passengers the option of buying an additional seat for personal comfort, if they so desire.

I'm tall, I find the leg room to be lacking.

Guess what, im not complaining about it because I'm outside of the average size.

I find cash points are too low to use comfortably. But again, it's me whose tall.

I'm unable to do much about being tall, she could slim down then she'd fit ok.

The real victims here are the people who have to sit next to her for 5 hours, while her blubber oozes over and under the arm rest, occupying half their seat with the fatsters hot moist flesh

To be honest that second seat shouldn’t be optional. Having sat next to land whales with their overflow pretty much crowding me out of my own seat it is a pretty uncomfortable experience for both of us.

A few work outs here and there and she would probably be travelling first class instead of cattle.

[Gecko1978]

I would argue its a shame she can't do star jumps run a mile live past 42.

Being fat is not good its bad, you can love your body but don't love being unhealthy

Why didn’t she simply ask for an extender belt?

Because that would have solved the problem quickly and with zero fuss, and would not have afforded her an opportunity for a whinging Tik Tok me me me gobsh!te video.

If belt extenders came with a cake I’m sure she’d have no problems requesting one

She's not actually big enough to need a seatbelt extender, going from her other videos. The whole article is just a plug to get some views on her TikTok.

That’s what I thought.

Sure she’s no size 10 but she isn’t a size 18/20 either.
If a size 16/18 cannot fit in a chair (when reality is most women are into this range in the UK) then clearly the offering from the airline is not acceptable.
Clearly it would be great if everyone was size 8-12 but that’s not real life.

I’m tall and my knees are always into the back of the chair in front. It’s a PITA. So when I had the ability I went B class instead or premium economy or paid for extra legroom. Problem solved.
Sadly business class seats in European travel are now no wider rather middle seat it left empty. Two bigger seats for comfort is required as we’re paying for it.

I got as far as TikTok.....I'm out.

She is about a size 16, she should fit into that seat easily unless US airlines have tiny seats (never been on one!). I'd guess there's a bit of angle manipulation in the video to make the belt look like it doesn't fit.

If a size 16 lady cannot fit in the seat then a tall man will not either and any man say 16 stone or more will not.

But as you say manipulation by her for a more tocks on the tik

That’s 18 sized bum to me… this is a non story just attention seeking.
