Wiggum hello, they are not saying that the carer should be allowed to travel free. They are saying that DJ will only allow them to travel if they bring and pay for a carer. Most likely because DJ don't want the OH&S issues of lifting people into and out of seats because they don't have the special equippment or more cynically wheel chair passengers take a fair time to load and DJ don't want it having an effect on depature stats due short turn arounds. Pesronally I think DJs attitude on this stinks.
