I'm all for these policies, but agree they might be tough to put into practice.
Say a larger guy buys a single ticket for a flight that is frequently full. He boards the plane and can't get the seat belt closed with the extender-thingy they provide. According to the policy, he would need to buy a second seat. Being a full flight, there are no second seats.
What now? Boot him from the flight and put him on the next one and hope that one isn't full also? Let him slide and tell him to buy two tickets in advance next time (yeah, right)? Request a waist measurement when buying tickets online? Upgrade him to business and strip the free upgrade from someone who is a very frequent flier?
