Blind pax discrimination
Hello,
I would like to know in your airline what is the common procedure for blind passengers.
Are the number of blind passengers limited per flight? If yes, based on what?
I've heard of a flight with more than 190 blind passengers, so I can't think of a good reason to reject a passenger based on its visual disability.
Where does an airline crosses the line from safety to discrimination?
Thanks!

"Discrimination" means making a choice, determining or identifiying a diffrerence between.
I discriminate between people when I decide which one to talk to, or which one to employ or kick in the nuts. I discriminate between sandwiches when I decide which one to buy or which road to take at a junction.
An airline discriminates between blind people and sighted when it recognises there is a difference between them, just as it does between male and female pax on the booking form or between children and adults.
So your point is? (on this thread - because in the other parallel one you started on the exact same subject you merely asked about seating policy for blind pax)
