I was watching a Reuters news report on Swagbucks TV about a group of disabled passengers who were barred from flying to Dusseldorf from Moscow. The pilot said that they couldn't board the plane. After some debating, the pilot decided that only two of the passengers could fly. After the second negotiation, she decided that four of them could fly. I feel that all of the passengers should have been allowed to board the plane. This was supposed to be a business trip to discuss how corporations and job sites in Europe could be made to accommodate employees with disabilities.
This angers me great deal as a person with a disability and an employee. That pilot has turned the clock back 80 years as far as people with disabilities are concerned. Back to the days of the Holocaust when disabled people were being killed in concentration and death camps across Mainland Europe.
