        Flying with a Disability
        Josh Grisdale 2 years ago

        It sounds like the Department of Transportation is at least listening. Hopefully it will translate into action. (Especially toilets please!)

        Cruising Altitude: Progress for disabled travelers is not coming fast enough

        Does the U.S. really have accessible travel? I asked experts what needs to happen to make flying better and safer for passengers with disabilities.

          “Imagine if Americans were to see that this particular airline broke 700 wheelchairs last year, but substitute ‘legs’ for ‘wheelchair,’ ” Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., glad I’m not the only one who considers breaking wheelchairs is the same as breaking legs.

            Which is why it is good to be represented in government by others with disabilities like Sen Duckworth.

            There’s definitely a need for the Aviation industry to address accessibility in a different way… They are consulting here in Australia, hopefully we can get the right messages across and finally see some change down the line.

              Great! When more countries create laws, it will be harder to not comply than to comply.
