OUTRAGE OF THE WEEK
Did you guys hear about this story?:
"A motivational speaker with cerebral palsy says he was kicked off a U.S. Airways flight after being told he was too disabled to fly alone.  The Grand Rapids Press reports that 47-year-old Johnnie Tuitel of Grand Rapids Township, Mich., says he has flown over 500,000 miles to give motivational speeches. Tuitel says he missed a speech because of the Sept. 23 incident at Palm Beach International Airport.   U.S. Airways' website says people can't fly alone if they wouldn't be able to help themselves or others in an emergency. A company spokeswoman says the crew was following company policy.  Tuitel says he will meet with U.S. Airways employees in coming weeks to discuss his concerns with the policy, which he hopes will be changed."

Outrageous.  I realize that the employees who denied him entry onto the flight were simply following policy.  But one also needs to use discretion and common sense.  This is an individual who'd flown many, many times--over 500,000 miles.  He's a motivational speaker.  He's shown that he IS capable of flying.  Why didn't somebody at that airport do a quick google of this guy?  I hope US Air gets all the negative publicity they deserve out of this.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings,
not in figures on the dial; we should count time by heart-throbs. He
most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. -Bailey
