Now that doesn't preclude the crew member being injured in a crisis, but it does mean that the primary concern of the airlines is safety, and as for me, a traveler, I am happy about that. I agree with willie, when he said he wished that the NFB would come up with an issue he could agree with, so that he would not be labeled as an anti-NFB blind person. I applaud that position, and feel the same way. Take care. Stew -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!377!6.0!Stew.Bowden Internet: Stew.Bowden@p0.f6.n377.z1.fidonet.org
