The Daily Mail reports that two larger women,
Kenlie Tiggeman and her mother Joan Charpentier, were not permitted to
board their Southwest flight recently, despite Tiggeman losing more
than 100 pounds and no explicit reason for the decision.
"I asked him what the weight restrictions were and he said that he didn't
know, just that we were too heavy to fly. Too fat to fly," Miss
Tiggeman told WDSU News.
One of the Southwest employees
involved apologized for "the manner in which" he addressed the issue,
but they were not able to board their flight.
Southwest did, however, offer them vouchers and free credit, which Tiggeman used to
visit fitness guru Richard Simmons, who welcomed her with open arms.
