- deaf
- mute
- under 15 years old
- immobile or unable to operate the exit door due to some handicap
- non-English speaker
- unwilling to perform the duties required by exit row occupants
Would the flight be able to take off? If so, why? If not, how might the situation be remedied so the flight could leave?
Let no pax on that flight sit in the exit row, then the plane can take off.
