bmibaby emergency exit seats

[danfulton]

Travelled on bmibaby last weekend for the second time, and for the second time the over wing emergency exit seats were occupied by petite women.

Not bothered about getting the seats for myself, but surely there should be some limits on who can purchase the seats (£15 I think).

Would much prefer to see a butch person sitting there who hopefully could manhandle the exit hatch a little easier.

Just looking for others opinions.

Edit to say -

Not bothered that they were women - it's just a fact that they were, would also not have been that happy with petite men !
