[NABS-L] November Discussion Starter

[Roanna Bacchus]

Hi Johna thanks for your message. Last week my parents and I went to Trinidad and Tobago to visit family. On both our trip to and from the Caribbean, the airline allowed individuals with disabilities to pre board the flight. I do not think that blind people should be allowed to pre board on planes unless they are blind and have an additional disability. Most blind people have two legs and can walk onto a plane without any assistance.

Since this month’s outreach theme is Federation Philosophy, I wanted to get some insight into your own personal philosophies regarding this highly debated topic: should blind people choose to preboard on airplanes? Why or why not?
