Why wouldn’t section (x) be relevant?
All I know is that I just sat down in a seat on the overwing exit of a Southwest 373, and the stew asked everyone to confirm that they were willing and able to assist in the event 9f an evacuation.
Not trying to pick a fight, just seems that the (x) section would cover the “assist” demand, since the overwing briefing never actually specifies what part of the evacuation would involve the “assist”.
What am I missing?
“Why wouldn’t section (x) be relevant?”
The red states the certificate holder determines. Nothing about the passenger agreeing to comply.
The functions required are in Section D. (x) is not in section D.
(x) is in the section headed by “(1) The person lacks sufficient mobility, strength, or dexterity in both arms and hands, and both legs:”. Only refers to capability, not consent.

b) No certificate holder may seat a person in a seat affected by this section if the certificate holder determines that it is likely that the person would be unable to perform one or more of the applicable functions listed in paragraph (d) of this section because—
(1) The person lacks sufficient mobility, strength, or dexterity in both arms and hands, and both legs:
