The problem is this: They may look okay while sitting on the ground, but put them in an economy class seat on a long haul flight; climb up to a cabin altitude of 8000 feet; then see how they are. Usually that person who looked okay on the ground starts having trouble breathing; their pulse slows; they drift in and out of consciousness. You have no way of judging how they will fair nor do the doctors who are writing the notes for them.
