With the push for consolidation the DOT is would be caught between a rock and a hard place if they diasaprove.
The door should be open for more business.
Put the arm rests down. If he can't get in within ten seconds charge him for two seats and a two hundred Euro administrative fee for the special attention.
If anyone ever sits beside me with those dimensions I would sue both the passenger and the airline for incringement on my space.
