if the woman was ABLE and WILLING to help assist and she verbally told the flight attendant yes, thats that. it would have been discrimination if the flight attendant told her she was too large to sit there. I have questioned it myself about the seatbelt extension too...however it is allowed (per FAA inspector on one of my flights, when i questioned it). Some examples of people not able to sit there are people that lack sufficien mobility, cannot speak hear or understand flight attendant commands, any passenger traveling with small children any person under the age of 15. there are more but too many to list. but no laws were broken
