Following the news that a school banned a child with autism from taking a school trip, I feel the need to write this. Boys and girls that no one invites to birthdays for example. There are kids who want to belong to a team but don't get selected because it's more important to win than include special needs kids. Children with special needs are not weird or strange, they just want what everyone else wants: to be accepted!! 😡Can I ask a question??. Is anyone willing to copy and paste this post on their wall without sharing, like I did for a friend?

American Airlines rolls out automated tags for mobility devices

Wednesday, 24 Jul, 2024

American Airlines is the first US-based airline to offer automated tags for passenger mobility devices.

It is a move to improve wheelchair and mobility device handling across its network.

The tech has been developed in-house.

“American is committed to improving the travel experience for our customers who use wheelchairs and mobility devices,” said Julie Rath, American’s SVP of Airports, Reservations and Service Recovery.

“Streamlining the check-in and tagging process will help us further improve how we handle wheelchairs.”

New automated tags replace manual tags and feature specific data like itineraries, delivery points, device weight, battery type, and the number of items removed and taken on board.

This aims to display more accurate and consistent information for team members handling the devices.
