Is the Oasis / MAX lavatory Air Carrier Access Act / ACA compliant?

Hi-

Hearing that they are only 24 inches wide got me thinking this must be a violation of the (American's With Disabilities Act?) I'm pretty sure the standard width for a door is 30 inches in a public or commercial building. I don't see how airplanes can be exempted since disabled people fly all the time and are allowed to board sometimes before anyone else.

I'm hoping a law-suit gets the bathroom size back to more usable standards for all of us. I'm not Disabled but I'm 6' 5" and 290lbs. When sitting down my hips are about 23 inches wide! I'm going to have to make sure to never fly on one of these awful planes.
