Well 404, I'm getting bored of the notion that the majority should change for a minority. You talk about short turn arounds and how this doesn't allow wheelchair passengers enough time to transfer at the gate. Why should Jetstar have to make their turnarounds longer and as a result increase their airfares for a minority? Why? Why should I be forced to pay more for someone else's convenience?? They are not being treated as sub-human, or demeaned in any way, just transferring to another form of transport so the airline can keep costs down and pass on a cheaper fare. If its not to your liking, fly another airline. I don't understand the continual argument and discussion.

I understand you are passionate about the subject, but do you think your feelings may be clouding your judgement slightly?
