Jim if you scroll down it gives you all the people the are not allowed to sit in the exit row...obese or people needing extensions is not on the list. and as i stated before i have asked a fed before about this matter on a flight that i worked. do i think the people using the seatbelt extsion should sit there? no...i can agree with that 100%. however there isnt a law, i think there should be. i would actually write into the FAA about this, never know what can happen, next time i have a fed on board i'll talk to them again about it. If (and we all know delta has some flight attendants of size lol) a flight attendant cant use an extension in a jumpseat near the exit door, why can a passenger? flying isnt fun, especially when you have somebody spilling into your seat. the airlines do pack you in like sardines in a can, so does the bus though and sometimes the train (especially into chicago). So maybe i am gonna change my view on this (the more and more i read the complaint), if the extension is laying on the floor (if its that long, usually not though) then yes it is a saftey issue and people could trip over it.
