The rule that AC has put forward justifying the exclusion of 'persons' that cannot bend their knees at 45 degrees is completly justifiable for safety considerations. The fact is that you have to be able to get up and move if the aircraft faced an emergency situation. [/I].
So maybe on that basis they should ban people in wheelchairs too.
