I don't think it should be by weight, it should be by size. Basically if you can't fit in the seat and will squash the person next to you, you should pay for (and get) 2 seats. Or you could choose to upgrade, though it probably works out cheaper for 2 seats in economy.
I'm am not exactly small, but not massive either. But someone who was 6 feet tall could weigh the same as me and be 3 dress sizes smaller. That is why I can't see that airlines could do this on a weight alons basis.
Mind you, how can they do it if you turn up and are too big for one seat and they say you need 2, if the aircraft is full then what happens?
I can see this debate will run for quite a while.

The passenger would get off loaded.
perhaps the airlines should introduce a 'width restriction' barrier like the ones you have to stand against to see if you are tall enough to ride[msnsmile2]
Instead of it saying you need to be this tall to ride, it could say :
your a*** needs to fit through here to fly!!!!!!! LOL [msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2]

I couldn't agree more that airline seats are way too small. I am tall and have long legs so my knees always touch the seat in front which makes life very uncomfortable for me. (I am also a little chunky, but I won't dwell on that!)
In economy I always get the person who wants their seat in full recline the whole journey, so I can't watch TV on the seat back and I can't even hold a book to read (I'm a tad long sighted) because it is too close to my face. I think other passengers could be more thoughtful at times, to make the journey easier. I had had people who I have asked if they could put their seats back up so that I can get out of my seat to go to the ladies, and they have just blindly ignored me, or they put their seat up and then back down again as soon as you get up, without even waiting for you to come back! You can only get the stewards to insist they put their seats up during mealtimes. You'd think that if Virgin, etc, were going to insist on squashing us all in, they would at least make it so the seats don't recline.
The airlines are just way too greedy trying to fit in so many seats. I'm sure that if they were transporting cattle or chickens in these conditions, someone somewhere would say that it's illegal, but as we're humans, it seems ok to squash us up together.
Whenever I have complained about this (because I have spent many a flight back standing for most of the time) they say that you can always upgrade - well this is fine if you only have a couple of you travelling (but even then it is out of a lot of people's pockets). If they could just add say £50 to the cost of every seat and take 20 out of the aircraft, this would make it a little more manageable for some people.
By the way, another difficult seat situation is when you are trapped in with someone with a toddler on their laps - the toddlers may have their backsides on their parents' lap, but their legs are inevitably in my face, ribs, knees, wherever. I know how difficult it is for parents, and don't blame them, what can they do - I've had 4 kids of my own, but now that they're all grown, I am a little less patient than I used to be!!
And do you notice how much more tolerable the awful conditions are when you're flying out towards a fantastic holiday in the sun, but boy do the same conditions seem so much worse when you're flying home !![msnwink]
Ho hum - it doesn't stop us flying though, so we must all think it's worth it
