Flight attendants should be able to rescue the 99th percentile passengers.

This means carrying the passenger, unconscious or screaming, to the door of the aircraft and beyond. There may be rough ground or water. The passenger should be moved to safety, well beyond any fuel slick or fire.

The 95th percentile for women is about 260 lb., for men about 285. I am not a small man, but at my fittest around age 30, I would have had a hell of a time getting somebody that weight out of an airline seat and out the door as dead or resisting weight.

I don't think you understand the job of flight attendants.

One under each arm? I think you are flying a student airline to me.
