OBFSLF has already pointed out that you misrepresent things.
It seems to me that you do not read the comments properly before you answer.
It was Clarence Oveur who suggested that frequent travellers feel a sense of outrage at not being on a par with 'professional' crew.
I am pointing out that being operating crew of an aircraft is not considered a profession - fact.
I also asked the the question why, as a professional, I would worry about a non professional's perception. Answer, I don't particularly. Neither do I look down on them either.
My opinion is, along with others here, that the impact of most FQTVs sitting in a window seat is pretty miniscule and the licensing authorities seem to think that any able bodied (presumably mentally competent) person can open an over wing exit.
And for the complete avoidance of doubt, I very rarely sit in an overwing exit as I tend to travel business class (where available), so I don't have a vested interest.
