So this Kevin Smith thing got me thinking because i've booking a stag to San Diego and was thinking of using an American Airline.

A couple of my buddies are pretty big guys. Not morbidly obese, but not small men by any stretch of the imagination as they are ex-football players. If I had to venture, i'd say about 6'0 280 pounds. Is this policy strictly enforced? I know they would pass the "arm rest test", but I'm still a little worried. Are we talking extremely fat people (Kevin Smith deosn't strike me as exxtremely fat), or is this something I should be worried about and maybe consider paying the extra for Air Canada?
