Hi All, You all know very well blind people cannot do anything. LOL How many times have you herd that.

Good for you. My sighted wife was thrown off a plane several years ago for traveling with a week old baby. The stewardess claimed it was a FAA reg. I called the FAA and found they have no such reg. A friend was pulled off a plane for traveling with a service dog. They demanded to see his doctor’s letter prescribing an emotional assistance dog. That wasn’t the purpose for having the dog. Emotional assistance dogs are the only animals that require documentation. Unfortunately, both happened on Southwest which has been good to me and my guide dogs in the past.

Recently I was discriminated against by frontier airlines. They wouldn’t allow me to travel with my 18 month old grand daughter. I called newspapers, news stations, and made my voice heard. Not just for me, but for the whole blind community and those after me so they will get treated fairly. Below is the links to the 2 news casts done by ABC Action, Fox 13, and and article written by the Tampa times. Just thought this may be a positive thing for the BBE, as well as the blind community.
