I am not sure why this problem is the fault of the National Federation of
the Blind. Part of it is these folks are wheelchair carriers. They are
expected to take the chair with them, so for them it might be easier if you
sit in it. Some of them don't realize the value of respecting your wishes,
but that isn't about the National Federation of the Blind. Also, it seems
that there are more elderly and people with disabilities flying, so this
makes them busier. Sometimes it is a matter of being rushed. It is not
excusable that they would treat us that way, but it is not the fault of the
organization. I was treated well, too.

I also flew Delta.  Why the assumption still exists that we can't walk as
well as not being able to see still exists I don't know.  But I ran into
that everywhere this time.  Fortunately, in every case, the staff were
courteous and respected my choice to walk with them.

Hi,



Travelling from Orlando to atlanta, did anyone else endure rude staff while
switching planes in atlanta?

I walked off of the plane in atlanta and a woman with a wheelchair was
waiting for me.

She grabbed my arm and dragged me closer to the wheelchair and attempted to
push me down in the wheelchair.

I gave a laser stare and said you need to learn not to push people down in a
wheelchair!

Way to go nfb, I thought the blind had it better than this now days.
