Tony Norman I have re-read 05166K's post, and I can't see what you can see
not at all....... i just didnt like the way he called us spongers.... and the way that his post reads is that we are in the wrong for being disabled.
He doesn't use the word spongers, and I don't read it as criticising you for being disabled.
The way I see it, "someone" needs "special handling" for any reason, and expects the cost to be borne by the airline. Ok, where doe sthe airline get that money from? Simple answer - the other passengers, so if an airline charges a levy, or covers the cost in the ordinary ticket prices all the other passengers are subsidising those that need special handling. There, no mention of disability. I think you will find that he was merely puting an alternative point of view.
Newsflash - low cost airlines don't provide full services that you might expect from the full cost carriers....
