[Nfbf-l] FW: Blindness takes a stand!

[Louise Peyton]

Just wanted to share this local story with you all about a Pinellas County resident discriminated against by Frontier Airlines.

Recently I was discriminated against by frontier airlines.  They wouldn’t allow me to travel with my 18 month old grand daughter.  I called newspapers, news stations, and made my voice heard.  Not just for me, but for the whole blind community and those after me so they will get treated fairly.  Below is the links to the 2 news casts done by ABC Action, Fox 13, and and article written by the Tampa times.  Just thought this may be a positive thing for the BBE, as well as the blind community.
