Large Pax in Exit Rows
Recently flew U.S. domestic on a 738. On both legs at least one of the exit rows/window seats contained obese passengers, who clearly purchased those seats for the extra room. The only screening the airline required was to have each exit row passenger verbally acknowledge a willingness to participate in exit row emergency duties.
I’m skeptical that a 300+ lb. woman or a 400+ lb. man could perform the overwing exit door duties, much less fit through an overwing exit door, at least using the technique shown on the safety placard.
Curious what other folks have seen on other domestic or international flights.
