[NAGDU] [nagdu] Blanket Prosciption Against Advance Notice

[Cindy Ray]

It makes sense until you have the history we have of discrimination. You
have to be polite and firm, but the things hyou say make us separately
equal. It's like the time I went into Dennys with my dog and they were
willing to seat us in a section that had been closed off because they
weren't serving that many people. They were seating me yes, so that was
equal; they were seating me separately for fear my dog would be of concern
to other customers, separate.

Raul, I think that your and Marion's positions make a lot of sense and 
are a good basis for a general rule.   I just wanted to point out that 
when a company such as Delta has exhibited behavior that shows they go to
extra lengths to accommodate guide dog handlers and their dogs by giving
them free expedited telephone ticket purchasing, premium seats at economy
seat costs, and priority seat assignments, it might behoove us to be a
little more flexible about rejecting advance notice in such a situation.

I hope this makes sense.
