....which unfortunately not always followed. The last time I was in an exit row (for the record, with no FA seated or stationed nearby), there was a very old senile and feeble guy in the exit row window seat next to me who had to be led to his seat and helped to walk down the aisle. His traveling companion, who was not seated next to him, had to fasten his seat belt for him and then tell him several times, as if talking to a small child, that he must keep it fastened. The GA and FAs should have noticed. I tried to tell one of the FAs without making it an embarrassing incident, but she seemed pretty clueless and ended up asking the guy's companion whether he was able and willing to help in an emergency. Shocking! (My plan was to shove him out of the way if there had been an emergency.)
