Please join the DBTAC - Southwest ADA Center at ILRU for a webcast on "The
Air Carrier Access Act Update and Impending Changes".

Bill Burnell, Manager of Customer First and Regulatory Programs, Continental
Airlines Airport Services Policies and Procedures, will present the webcast
on "The Air Carrier Access Act Update and Impending Changes" on Wednesday,
April 1, 2009 at 2:00pm Central.

This session is will provide a brief overview of the new amendments to the
Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 (ACAA) and it's implementing regulation, 14
CFR Part 382 (Part 382) which will become effective on May 13, 2009. The
ACAA prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in
commercial air transportation along with its implementing regulation, 14 CFR
Part 382 (Part 382).

Mr. Burnell will discuss how these new amendments apply to both U.S. and
foreign carriers, airport accessibility and changes to common services such
as flight reservations. He will also address specific changes that may
affect passengers who use respiratory assistive devices and passengers who
are deaf or hard-of hearing.

Bill Burnell is responsible for ensuring compliance to all regulations
involving disability issues set forth by the government at Continental
Airlines. Some of the current programs he has implemented include "Project
Airport", an airport tour program that Continental and TIRR | Memorial
Hermann initiated at Houston's Bush-IAH airport, and the "Customers with
Disabilities Advisory Board", a group comprised of several members of the
community with disabilities that meets with members of various departments
within Continental to offer suggestions and tips on how to better improve
disability handling and the product the airline is offering.
