美國航空日前以過胖為理由，把一名退役軍人趕下班機，消息傳出後飽受批評。
週五時，克里斯‧雪萊剛登上一班從達拉斯飛往橘郡的班機後，一名嬌小的老太太坐在他旁邊，然後過沒多久就起身走向飛機前艙。
很顯然她是去前面的空服員抱怨，有個男人胖到塞不進坐位裡。
雪萊表示，空服員告訴他說他的體型大於坐位兩吋，所以他得離開這架班機。
雪萊說當天班機上的機組員跟老太太的舉動，讓他覺得自己不只是個罪犯，還是一個胖罪犯。
可憐的雪萊在拜託航空公司跟老太太跟他換坐位之後，最後獲准回到飛機上。
雪萊是前美軍陸戰隊員，而且常常坐飛機，一年里程數可達10萬英哩。他收到了兩封來自美國航空的道歉電子郵件，信中聲明他們正在調查這起事件。
英文原文：
American Airlines is under fire after a veteran was reportedly kicked off a flight for being too fat.
Chris Shelley had just boarded a flight in Dallas bound for Orange County on Friday when, he says,
a petite old lady sat down next to him, then moments later got up and walked to the front of the aircraft.
Apparently, she’d gone to the front of the plane and complained that the man was to big for his seat.
Shelley says the crew told him he was two inches over the seat and said he’d have to leave the flight.
The average economy class seat on a U.S. domestic flight is between 17 and 19 inches wide, but there’s no specific law for passenger width, and each airline operates differently.
Back on the plane, Shelley said he was made to feel like, “Not only a criminal, but a fat criminal.”
After begging the airline to ask the woman to switch seats with him as a compromise, Shelley was eventually allowed back on the flight.
Shelly’s a former Marine and flies frequently, up to 100,000 miles a year. He’s received two apology emails from American Airlines, which says it’s investigating the incident.
