"Lost" Premier episode question...

I can’t recall if this has been covered, and I don’t really have time to check the thousand or so posts dealing with the series so far.

I re-watched the premier last week and I noticed that Locke was sitting behind the black lady who lost her husband (Rose I think). Then it occured to me, if Locke was confined to a wheel chair would he be seated in the middle of the airplane?

I would have thought that he would be in a “front row”.

Has anyone else thought of this?

He probably pre-boarded before everybody else, and had his wheelchair stowed away (since I doubt he’d be up-and-about much during the flight, at least not without the help of a flight attendant).

I’m sure he pre-boarded, but I’d have to defer to someone who works for an airline to let us know if there are any procedures for where a disabled person sits.

As a WAG, i wouldn’t think they would put him in an aisle seat because he can’t get up and let whoever is next to him out.
