Um, I bring my own seatbelt extender and I check for it as often as I check for, you know, my phone or my boarding pass or my wallet. Right. I have a very specific posture and I feel like most fat people I know who fly have similar sort of postures for themselves. I use one hand to grab the opposite elbow so that my arm, so that as little of my arm as possible, um, is in balance.
