[nagdu] NAGDU project?

Sun Aug 16 22:51:46 UTC 2009

The only problem is that we are very limited by the available space. My
personal view is that the air travel card should be restricted to things
that specifically are related to air travel, things that are part of the Air
Carrier Access Act and the applicable regulations. I figure we can always
explain the etiquette. Those types of things are also likely to be the areas
where we will not be questioned once we explain the rules. If I tell a
flight attendant not to pet my dog, I don't have to produce a card proving
that this is inappropriate. On the other hand, airline employees sometimes
think they know more about issues like seating and deplaning than we do
ourselves.

Those are just my thoughts.

What about adding some of the rules like not feeding and not petting and
*NOT GRABBING THE HANDLE*.  A taxi driver did that to me the other day, and
I had to ask him not to touch the handle.

I'm imagining something like this:

A guide dog user:

* May request a bulkhead seat but is not required to sit in the bulkhead.
* May preboard but is not required to do so.
* Is not required to be the first or last person to exit the plane.
* is not required to mention the presence of the dog ahead of time, though
owners of some service dogs are required to do so.

By no means am I suggesting that this is the final wording of the card.

I think this could be a really useful thing.

Well, our guide dog school i d cards are not that big and there is info on
them in general about access.  I think we could squeeze stuff on the front
and back of the card.
