This is off thread, apologies. But how does an airline cope with 200 disabled pax? I suppose it depends on the severity of the disabilities, but isn't there a question of safety here?

It's hairy enough evacuating a full load of able-bodied pax, but 200 with disabilities must pose a severe problem.

I'm not having a pop at the disabled here, just wondering about the problems of carrying so many aboard one flight. Are there rules to cover this, or is up to the captain?
