[Ohio-talk] Dayton airport

[Deborah Kendrick]

This is very surprising.  I have flown out of Dayton many, many times over
the past decade and never had the wheelchair conversation.  
Sounds like maybe you have just had the misfortune of running into one or
two ill-informed employees.  And those can pop up anywhere -- and do!

I have been flying out of the Dayton airport lately.  Every time I have gone
through that airport lately I have been told they would get a wheelchair for
me.  I tell them I don't need a wheelchair but someone to walk me to the
gate.  The conversation goes downhill from that point.  I have not used a
wheelchair but they act like I have a bad attitude.  I don't yell at anyone,
I try to tell them in an assertive way that I don't need the wheelchair.
Has anyone else had a similar experience at the Dayton airport?  Could the
NFB of Dayton or another nearby chapter offer to provide training to the
different airlines and the meet and assist staff of that airport?
