This can be a Catch 22: Most U.S. airlines will NOT allow a handicapped
person to sit in a row with an Emergency Exit. The "official" reason being
that regulations require all persons seated in a row with an Emergency
Exit be physically capable of opening the exit door and assisting others
to exit. I leave the real reason to your imagination.

BTW, Anybody want to give odds as to who will be the first person out the
exit in a real emergency? Also, the only times I have ever obseerved
passengers seated next to an emergency exit be specifically briefed on the
procedure were all on military transports.
