Actually, a 6'4'' person weighing 240 pounds IS extremely overweight! Not yet "obese", but no, he shouldn't get to whine about someone else taking his seat and not being able to fit in coach.

Guillermo – He's 6'4. So no, I don't see anything wrong with that, dummy.

As for the story, I also call BS, for reasons previously stated by other comments.

A 240 lb. man whining about the size of someone else?? Anyone else see something odd about that?

It doesn't make sense that he was in first class. There are no planes that have a middle seat in First. Besides, FC seats always have that wide shelf between the seats, so there is no way someone could spill into the adjacent seat.

Maybe he meant premium economy where there would still be three seats on a side.

I recently bought a ticket on UA and then upgraded it to "United First". There was no First Class section on the plane, just premium and regular economy. The "First" apparently referred to the fact that I got to go through the FC line in security. The seat in premium Econ was configured 3 seats on each side of the aisle and was just a regular seat, but with mire legroom. So something like thar may be what he meant.

There are however, clearly some exagerations. There is no way it takes 30 minutes to find a name due to a misspelling. After 30 seconds, you'd just spell it for them.

Ummm, what plane/airline has 3 across First Class, yet coach is too small to sit in?? I am about your size and while the coach seats aren't spacious, I can certainly sit in them. I am throwing the BS flag here.

And a PS- it may have been an exit row or premium economy but if you paid more, caveat emptor.

Something wrong here. 3 seats across and you didn't get what you paid for? I gather it wasn't a first or business class seat as they are 2 across. If there is a 3 across in the US for a short haul in business or first from NYC to Detroit, never heard of it. Sounds a little fishy except for the FA saying he or she does not want to get hauled into court for discrimination. We all know that's AA. Give some more detail on this one. Look online at the AA flight.
