I hear what you, and other next poster are saying, but in my mind it doesn't add up. If DVT was a genuine threat then regardless of airplane / wheelchair / etc quads and paras should be dying on a regular basis from DVTs, and they're not.
I also get what you're saying. I have thought the same thing before. I really do not know much about it. My friend died from it on a flight a couple of years back. He was in great shape and a very active person. I still can't believe it. I do think there are different environmental factors in the air that are less of an issue on the ground that increase the risk. One more thing, TAB's generally do not have Roho cushions to use instead of the hard airline seats.
