Somethin ain't right here. First, this article is of very low quality, a child could write better than this. Second, there is no way someone would be made to have to do without their seatbelt during takeoff and landing. It look like this guy didn't fact-check anything, he just pulled it off some blog.
For all I know, this could be completely made up. In my line of work I have people telling me all kinds of stories every day, so I never know the truth.
The source listed was a Daily Mail article. Then again, those aren't known for their fact-checking, either.
This sounds made up. Def need more info and a better source. I can't see this happening. Isn't it against FAA regs?

I heard this from a few different places when it first happened. I see some holes in the story, but I am sure that he sat strapped in during takeoff andlanding, and CHOSE to stand because his seat was that uncomfortable. There were just no other options, and US Airways should have had the large man pay for two seats.

I agree with Phil too. it is dangerous to stand on the plane before take off and landing.. the staff won't allow it either.plus, they are after for a good service, maybe they can have him seat on their jump seat to make him comfortable. Their superiors won't definitely get mad at them for helping the passengers..

I have stood for most of a flight on purpose BECAUSE the seats are too tight and my knees cant take it. Did it almost the entire flight from EWR to SFO on a flight with actually missing seats on the rear left of the plane. They had taken the last 10 rows of ABC seats due to small crew and FAA regs that state you must have so many crew per pax... I actually loved it!!
