[nabs-l] Air Canada challenges deaf, blind man's right totravelalone; Burnaby

I personally would not want ot sit in an exit row as I panic  easily and
would be more of a detriment then a help to the situation.

Hey all, 

Another air travel related issue I just learned of is that blind people are
not allowed to sit in emergency rows. I am tall enough to "need" an
emergency row, so I guess I will hide my cane in the airport/airplane. BTW,
I start cane travel training today.
