Woman seeking bigger seat on plane faked medical emergency: cops
A Florida woman faked a medical emergency in order to get a larger seat on an American Airlines flight, authorities said. But the pilot, apparently not realizing the emergency was bogus, turned the plane around. The woman, who wasn’t publicly identified, was taken into custody when Miami-bound flight American Eagle 3508 landed back in Pensacola around 6:30 a.m. Friday, police said. (www.foxnews.com) More...

The airplane reprtedly was an american eagle flight..the seats on those aircraft are all the same and there are no "better"nor bigger ones..the woman obviously doesnt fly much, and thought her "scam" would work..yes,that scam will cost her attorney fees,reimbursement to American eagle,and a lot of embarrassment due to her ignorance..
negative Mary....Eagle has first class seats now.
I've sat in RJ 'first class' seats. To call them 'better' is somewhat disingenuous. They are *better* than coach seats, but a log would be too!
It's sad how 'big' America has gotten. I passed a gurney in a hospital and saw the 700lb capacity sticker and laughed. An orderly said some patients strain that limit, with equipment, and other things on it, plus they are made to ride 'mobile' and won't collapse on rough roads. It was also wider than what I've ever seen. Yeah, the 'American Diet' will explode weight and the sugar and corn processors love it. Sad... Plus diabetic drug companies, and dialysis companies too. All the ancillary industries that live off of the fattening of Americans.
Which really makes me wonder WTH American Airlines is doing SHRINKING seats and legroom! Hospital beds, and gurneys are getting bigger, and air travel dooms us to 'overflowing' passengers...
