What must an FA do if an exit row passenger no longer meets requirements?

• A. Move the passenger
• B. Move another passenger
• C. Ask for medical clearance
• D. Remain seated and monitor

Answer: (A)

Exit rows must be occupied by passengers who can perform the required evacuation duties. If the person in the exit row no longer meets those requirements—whether due to mobility, ability to understand instructions, or other safety factors—the flight attendant must relocate that passenger to a regular seat. This keeps the exit row available for an eligible passenger and preserves evacuation readiness. Waiting for medical clearance isn’t the procedure during flight operations, and remaining seated while not addressing the ineligibility doesn’t satisfy safety obligations. So, the appropriate action is to move the passenger.
