Dear Mr. Pinkwater:

I’d like your opinion. And since you’ve had my ear for many years on NPR I know you have many. (Opinions, not ears.)

I want to know what you think about Southwest Airlines policy of charging what we will gently call “two-seated passengers” for two seats. And I ask you this because you make no bones about the fact that you’re not skin and bones.

Please advise.

Your friend,

Tim Wheeler

If you go to npr.org and then to the All Things Considered program of June 20, you may listen to my remarks on this subject.
