sit-down for me-first

the ABC had a news story about a "disability advocate" being upset over how he was treated on a flight within Australia.

First, this advocate was traveling with his support dog. a40kg monster which was uncontrollable except by its owner. even then the owner had to be sitting in his own wheelchair.

there was some fuss over the wheelchair. "only" 9kg says the man who obviously is not the person carrying an awkward 9kg up the steep steps into the plane.

okay. once they managed to get this mongrel onto the plane, the dog had its own booked and, probably paid-for window seat.

most likely this window seat is the emergency exit. in an emergency an active dog can move itself.

except that the immobile owner demands to sit in that seat.

imagine an actual emergency. two hundred passengers burning to death at the back of the plane. they are blocked from the exit by the man who cannot move.

what an idiot.
