[Travelandtourism] Airline Web Sites

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

    I believe some new regulations are in the works to amend the Air Carrier 
Access Act to address the accessibility of airline Web sites and 
self-service airport kiosks. Having visited many private air charter company 
sites I've found that the vast majority of them are very usable with screen 
reading systems. If I found an accessibility issue with the 
socialflights.com Web site all I needed to do was to bring it to Matt's 
attention. Not long after doing so I discovered the problem was fixed and 
the site area in question was 100% accessible. It only took one blind person 
bringing the problem to his attention to have it remedied no federal laws 
necessary. Why can't the airlines be as intelligent?

In caverns deep a burning snare,
He shot from heaven a piercing ray,
And the dark treachery brought to day.”
