Hi Walter,
     I tend to agree with your view of not fighting the airlines
too much. Next week I will be flying for the first time in two
years, so have been thinking about this tired old issue some.
I am someone who resists preboarding and prefers to make/muddle
my own way through airports.
     You know, the airlines may actually be right on the exit
row issue. Not having studied plane crash reports, I wouldn't
know for sure. I am convinced, however, that so much confrontation
by blind people where they just maybe, might be mistaken tends
to make it harder for us to decline unneeded help.
          Glen
