I still think that since US Airways is an American carrier with an English-speaking crew, the exit row passengers must be able to speak, read, and understand English. They are supposed to read the seatback card, be able to follow oral commands given by the crew, and give the FA a verbal yes (In English, I think!) that they understand their responsibility.
You are correct Professeur Beth! US flag carriers require that passengers seated in the exit row speak, read and understand English. F/As assess this at the exit row during boarding.
