Johnnie Tuitel if I were a passenger on a flight with you, I would assist you if there was an emergency, just like I would any other person on that flight.

Dear Mr. Tuitel,

I wanted you to know that I am truly sorry to hear U.S. Airways has treated you so unfairly. I can't imagine what it is like having your "physical state" determined by flight crew. A wheelchair should not define a person and their potential to help themselves. I hope you can find something positive out of this terrible experience. I want you to know that if I was on a flight with you, and there was an emergency, I would assist you like I would any other person on that flight. And though we have never met I have a feeling you would do the same for me.

Kari
