Klopt inderdaad dat er zgn preferred seats zijn, die je kunt reserveren als je bijvoorbeeld medallion member bent of een medische verklaring hebt, maar de stoel direkt naast de nooduitgang is toch echt (normaal gesproken) voor een fit persoon die bereid is om te assisteren.
Wordt trouwens ook altijd tijdens het safety filmpje aan boord uitgelegd.
Vond dit net bij Delta:
Passenger Qualifications When assigning an exit seat:
- They must be able to comprehend instructions for operating the emergency exit including locating and operating a window exit or exit door and directing others to the exit
- They must not be under 15 years of age and must not have a condition that might cause them harm if called upon to open an exit
- They must be physically able to open an exit door and to lift and stow a 31-52 pound window exit
- They must not require the use of a seat belt extension (this limitation is intended to preclude the hazard of entanglement with the additional length of the extension by those passengers attempting to expeditiously exit the aircraft)
Exit-row passengers must be willing to perform these tasks if instructed to do so.
