Putting the guy on crutches in 16A definitely sounds like it would be against regulations, and that second FA should have known that.
But in 16D? I guess it depends-- While the airline may certainly market them as 'exit row' and collect money for them as being 'preferential', are the seats in the center section of a widebody's exit row officially considered exit-row seats
in terms of FAA regs on who is/is not qualified to sit in them?
Anybody know?
