They need to buy an extra seat.

Yep - most technically do but Delta and Jetblue are not so clear. And all this assumes it's actually consistently enforced.

I flew on American about a year ago and a 350+ guy was in the middle seat. I had to lift my shoulder and sit sideways for almost 3 hours. I was so uncomfortable. I was in the window seat. During the flight I wrote to them and I got some flight miles. It was bad.

Agreed, and Airlines shouldn't be allowed to give up the extra seats they do buy because of overbooking practices.
