[nagdu] Questions about Federal regs regarding paratransit

[Garry and Joy Relton]

Dan,

I think it's sort of like raising children. The neighbors always know more
about how it should be done than you. Especially if they don't have any of
their own. (grin)

Why is it that everyone knows more about blindness than we do--sarcastic
grin?

Ron,

It seems the airlines are confused about bulkhead seating.  I flew to
Montana last month and on the way back from Montana to New Orleans the
flight attendant was just all kinds of sure that I wanted to be in the
bulkhead.  I hate the bulkhead because there is no foot room.  I would
rather sit in a regular seat so that my dog can back under the seat in front
of me and lay out of the way and give me some room.  The flight attendant
told me that "it was the law that blind people with dogs sit in bulkhead."

Eventually things got straightened out but gur.
I know many assistance dog handlers like bulkhead, especially handlers with
larger dogs or dogs who can't for whatever reason fit under the seat in
front.  However there are some of us who would rather not sit there and I
just hope that one day I can fly without a huge production about where I
sit, grin.
