Re: Overwing exits
I flew today from Stockholm to heathrow, and the BA staff DID brief me on the exit procedure. In fact they have always done that.
But in the row was one of the biggest guys I have ever seen, and whether he would be classed as obese or not would depend on how brave you were if you were telling him!

... And we do tell people they need to be relocated from emergency exits for such or such reason basically on a daily basis. It is not embarassing for us, as our job it's all about looking after our SLF safety

They have baggage gauges at check in at many airports. What you need is a fat-git gauge, perhaps a hoop the same shape as the exit which they have to climb through. If pie-tasters can't get through without breaking into a profuse sweat or their shirt coming un-tucked, they don't get allocated the seat.

knobbygb - that is pretty funny....I think you are riht though, obese people shouldn't sit at the exit, in case of an emergency - what's the chances of that happening, we got great flightcrew up front? right? 
I wonder if it affects the COG of the aircraft?
only joking lo,
