She's not "really" disabled is she?
Well she's "abled" enough to go away for a weekend with her husband and her dog, so obviously she is capable of living away from home.

As she would have no urgent requirement to be home that evening, there is no reason she should get priority over those who DO need to be home that night.

SHEESH! people, grow up, this is nothing more than another media beatup and she would have been less inconvenienced than many others by not getting home that day! Just because she's blind doesn't mean she MUST get priority in everything in life.

SH&T happens, she's not a Qantas customer, there was ZERO reason to give her priority over other stranded passengers.

Look what happened - she got bumped for one day AND SHE SURVIVED!, Who would have guessed?
