The difficulty with these discussions is that there is a sliding scale between those who everyone would agree is disabled to those who have become obese or physical limited due to their own actions, not associated with any medical condition. The question is where should the cut-off be with regard to REQUIRED assistance by the airlines. I believe it should be near the end of scale for those truly disabled at the moment. Obviously, if one breaks their leg snowboarding, they are at that moment disabled. I believe the rules should be modified to make REQUIRED assistance be limited to those who are nearer that end of the scale. It should not be that one can simply request a wheelchair and by doing so, be deemed disabled and entitiled to assistance.

I don't have any objection to the baggage fee, even though I check baggage. I won't start to complain until they put a credit card swiper next to the emergency oxagen masks.

I have eaten a lot of polish sausage, does that count?
