The GA asked her if she could operate the exit row if needed. She said, "Sure, so long as nothing happens." Okay, well isn't the point of the question surrounded around the idea that something could happen and you would have to act on that. Instead of telling her she could not have the exit row and find another seat for her by asking for someone to take it, he gave her the exit row. Had something happened, there is no way this women could have operated anything. It annoys me that SONG would allow this. I know the chances are slim, but if something were to happen, you need someone capable of handling the responsibility. She blatently said she could not more or less and it was ignored.
