> Hello All:
> 
> I'm hoping this message finds you well.  We at United Airlines need your help.  As part of our efforts to comply with the December 12, 2015 mandate from the U.S. Department of Transportation under the Air Carrier Access Act (ACA), we are seeking participants to conduct usability testing of the new United Airlines website. The purpose of the testing is to ensure that the United Airlines website is accessible to individuals with disabilities, enabling everyone the ability to search for a United flight, make a reservation, check the status of a flight, check in for a flight and contact United Airlines. 
> 
> The testing will be held on Tuesday, December 1, 2015, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Second Sense offices at 65 East Wacker Place, Suite 1010, Chicago, Illinois 60601. The two-hour testing will be conducted using Windows-based computers and either the Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers. We will strive to accommodate participant's individual needs but do ask that if specific hardware is required (e.g., alternative switch controls, refreshable braille display, etc.), that the participant bring their own device/s. If a sign language interpretor is necessary, please notify us as soon as possible so that we can make this accommodation.  
> 
> In order to ensure representation of as many disabilities as possible, we are looking for individuals with disabilities in any or more than one of the following:
> *    Deaf or Hard of hearing.
> *    Motor or mobility impairments
> *    Cognitive and/or learning disabilities.
> 
> Individuals who participate in the testing will receive a $25 VISA gift card and reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses (with receipts). Please forward this information to individuals you work with whom you think may be interested in helping us out.  Anyone interested can contact me directly at 872-825-2518 (Voice/Relay) or via email to ray.campbell at united.com.  When contacting me, individuals should provide their name, phone number, email address, preferred method of contact, times they would be available on December 1, and any reasonable accommodations they may need such as a sign language interpreter.  Please encourage people to contact me as soon as possible if they are interested so we can make sure that all reasonable accommodation requests are filled.  Thank you in advance for your assistance finding individuals who can help United to make sure our website is accessible to and usable by everyone.
