Update the rules and ban the fakers from using the airline again?
- flangola7 4y agoHow do you intend to identify "fakers" without catching innocent people with disabilities in your net?

- magella 4y agoSuch ableist nonsense. Most wheelchair users can actually walk and strangers (and anyone else, too) do not got to decide whether people need a mobility aid or not.
- josephcsible 4y agoNobody is deciding whether anyone else needs a mobility aid. All we want is that if you decide that you need a mobility aid, you shouldn't be able to change your decision between departure and arrival.
- flangola7 4y agoPeople are allowed to change their minds. Stop being so emotional and controlling about it.
- josephcsible 4y agoMaybe reuse the criteria for getting a handicapped parking permit. But literally anything would be better than anyone being able to claim it with zero evidence.
- flangola7 4y ago>literally anything would be better than anyone being able to claim it with zero evidence. It is not the duty of a person with a disability to justify themselves to every skeptic they encounter. That is both unrealistic and discriminatory, especially as we would endlessly encounter people who would not be convinced no matter what we say. Disability accomodation laws have made this crystal clear for decades. Even people with handicap permits regularly get questioned as to if they are "genuinely" disabled, and the only thing that tamps it down at all is the fact that an establishments that do so are financially discouraged from it. Someone faking a disability is a nuisance, someone discriminating over a disability is a human rights violation.
