[Blindtlk] [nfb-talk] FW: [nfb-indiana] Blind Association condemns Air Asia, way out dated...

Wed May 30 14:23:47 CDT 2007

Good afternoon everyone,

Thought I would share this with you guys. It's a reminder of what we have
fought in the past concerning air travel  for the blind, and what we must do
in the coming years. It's also why we're holding our March for Independence
during this year's national convention. See you all in Atlanta.

Peter Donahue

This shows there are still great issues confronting us.  If the man who
ran the U.S. Disabilities program under President Clinton can be treated
so poorly,
image how the average person must be treated.

> Thailand Association of the Blind has condemned Thai Air Asia Airlines
which rejected an American blind passenger.
>
> The airline on Saturday rejected an American blind, Dr. Frederic K.
Schroeder, from traveling with the flight AK887 from Bangkok to
Malaysia's
Kuala Lumpur that he had previously reserved, said Monthien Boonton, the
president of the association.
>
> According to Monthien, the airlines' staff said to the passenger that
it
> disallowed a blind to be on broad alone because it had no staff to
take
care of him.
>
> Monthien claimed that, however, many blinds used to travel alone with
Thai
Air Asia without problem.
>
> Finally, Dr Schroeder has to switch to Malaysia Airlines instead.
>
> Monthien said what happening might affect on the country's reputation
because Dr Schroeder has been a wellknown person and was a highrank
officer
of the US government.
