Motivational Speaker Told He’s Too Disabled to Fly

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A motivational speaker with cerebral palsy says he was kicked off a U.S. Airways flight after being told he was too disabled to fly alone.

Forty-seven-year-old Johnnie Tuitel of Grand Rapids Township, Mich., told The Grand Rapids Press that he has flown over 500,000 miles to give motivational speeches. But Tuitel says he missed a speech because of the Sept. 23 incident at Palm Beach International Airport.

U.S. Airways‘ website says people can’t fly alone if they wouldn’t be able to help themselves or others in an emergency. A company spokeswoman says the crew was following company policy.

Tuitel says he will meet with U.S. Airways employees in coming weeks to discuss his concerns with the policy, which he hopes will be changed.

Tuitel says he was raised to believe he shouldn’t require special treatment.

    If U.S. Airways is that concerned about an accident, I think I’d consider a “SAFER” airline. My guess is that there is an insurance company involved in the making of this policy.

    Why not do a common sense thing and remove a few seats to accommodate passengers in wheelchairs Someone culd nvent a machanism for locking wheelchairs in place during takeoffs and landings to secure the safety of the passenger and they wouldn‘t be anyone’s way. This is a violation of civil rights.

    But he wasn’t alone unless, of course, he was the only person on that flight. This society of every man for himself if sickening. What the airlines is saying is all their other passengers are selfish, self-serving creeps who wouldn’t help a disabled person in the case of an emergency. In that case, none of us should fly US Airways because in an emergency we would be on our own. And to think they have always been my carrier of choice – NOT anymore.

    @George Washington – How would you feel if you were on the same flight as Johnnie when in an emergency situation he is blocking the aisle, unable to move and, you could not move him so that you could get to an emergency exit?

    Who says that he would be blocking the ilse?? Just because he‘s disabled doesn’t mean that he can’t fend for himself!! For all we know, he might be able to get out of harms way faster then you or I!! Don‘t discount the disabled just because you don’t know what they are capable of doing on their own.

    TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN ANSWERING ME. Thanks for your comments. Most of them make sense. The others are open for discussion. Let me say this. You have high ideals as do I. Under normal circumstances we would go out of our way to help someone who needs it. However, in a life threatening emergency, we do not know how we will react. We do not know what we will be thinking. It has been proven that many people died unnecessarily because they or others around them panicked in emergency situations. One cannot know what one will do until something happens. The point I am trying to make is that we must minimize the risk to everyone concerned. When it comes to emergencies, there are many variables such as presence of fire, smoke, fumes, explosion, structural or mechanical failure, in air collision, collision with land, collision on water and the taking on of water.or collision with another aircraft. or anything else. As distasteful as it may seem, under certain circumstances, certain individuals should be barred from certain activities. I rest my case. If anyone still feels that my thinking is incorrect, please let me know why you feel as you do. Maybe I can learn something. Thanks, much.

      We all start in life as disabled. We are born without the ability to care for ourselves. It takes a choice of someone else to protect, nuture and assist us in life until we are able to navigate on our own. I have a son who you would consider disabled. He is blind and has brain damage. He is not my biological child, instead we adopted him. My wife and I chose to give him, what his mother could not find it within herself to do, a chance to be more than what the world can see for him.
      George Washington, I do not know you, but I would request that you look to the character of the man who’s name you use. I believe he would answer your comments with a quote from the Bible:
      [While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You."
      But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?" And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother."] Matthew 12: 46-50
      We all need to realize that how we treat one another should have nothing to do with who we are as humans, but with who we are as children of the Creator of the Universe. When we get that straight in our heads, the arguments herein (and many others) become moot.

      I know what I would do I’ve done it before in other emergencies. Most people out there who don’t know that they are able to act until the situation happens. I’d do whatever was necessary. I’ve never left it to someone else,even if I had to get others to help me. Once he’s at the shoot you push him down and he follows instructions like everyone else. If I have to follow him and help him at the other end I’d do that too. I’ve never even thought about it I just go on auto-pilot regardless of the risk. I just can’t sit there and do nothing,not part of my nature. If I die because of it at least I know I stood up for something or someone.

    Hey…. at 36,000 ft, if you open the door, anyone not properly belted into their seat is easily deplaned from said airplane. So maybe the new policy should be, doors will be temporarily opened before plane crashes to allow those unable to deplane to deplane before the plane crashes. Subsequently, if you are unable to deplane w/o the help of another individual, a seatbelt will not be made available to you unless said helper is present.

      To Ludwika Bronislawa. Disabled individuals are perfectly able to drive cars which are equipped with adaptive driving controls. IE: hand and/or foot controls. For steering, there are Saganaw power steering units and steering wheel spinner knobs. There are also oversized rear and sideview mirrors. In an emergency, he would not throw himself into the aisle. However, he could get knocked there and may not be able to move while an able bodied individual migh be able to..

      I suspect that Mr. Tuitel’s disability was only his legs. Usually that means his upper body gained unusual strength. I doubt that he was just a lump with no muscle! And I doubt that the manager/agent did little more than hold the wheelchair while the passenger used his own arms to swing himself into his seat. He seemed to be a thinking human being and I also seriously doubt his motivation speeches were on how to get everyone around you to do your physical work for you!

    The airline was correct. Their policy is for everyone’s safety. Even though Mr. Tuitel flew over 500,000 miles without incident, there is always the first time. In an emergency situation, his life and possibly the lives of other passengers and the crew could be jeopardized by a severely disabled person who is unable to move.

What would you do if someone hit there head and got knocked out from turbulance? If there is an emergency is he going to throw himself in the aisle and block the whole plane from the exits? What about children traveling alone? Where do we draw the line here? Anybody could become disabled in the event of an emergency. The policy needs to be changed.

      I agree to an extent that the airline was correct. I have flown over a million miles and can attest that there were many that shouldn’t have flown if that rule was uniformly enforced. For example, little old ladies or men who can barely walk with a cane, people under the obvious influence of alcohol and young (under 12) children flying unattended. There have been times where I insisted that individuals sitting in exit row seats be moved as they were either prohibited (under 15 years of age) or physically unable to handle the responsibilities.

      However, being disabled myself, the airline should have made reasonable efforts to accommodate him by asking another passenger if they would assist him in case of an emergency. Furthermore, the gate personnel should have caught this before he was boarded. (I assume by the phrase, “he was kicked off” meant he was already boarded).

      And finally, US Scareways has probably on average the rudest, dumbest employees of any carrier I have flown. This is especially true if you have to go through Philly.

      I fly a good deal of the time. I’ve flown on planes with people too drunk to stand, flown with folks that have walkers and canes, people that need to be wheeled on and off the plane. That doesn’t even account for families that fly with small children, or those that try to stuff oversized bags under the seat or in the overhead because of the newer policies on charging for bags. I can honestly say, I’ve never seen anything as ridiculous as what happened to this man.

      Oh, and so you know, I always sit in the exit row, at the window, on regional jets or other smaller planes. So I would be one of the people in the unlikely event of a crash trying to help people safely get off the plane, and the last thing I’m worried about is if someone is disabled. Final thought, are we that morally bankrupt as a society? I bet US Airways kept his money, they pretty much always keep mine.

    It is sad that such an incident has happened and probably happens frequently. I think it illustrates the vast misunderstanding among people in the complexities of the disabled or handicap. From the video, Mr.Tuitel, seems to have reasonable capabilities and a clear ability to communicate. But it still seems reasonable for the airline’s personnel to not have the same faith in others that Mr. Tuitel.

      The problem is that if something happened and this man got hurt or God forbid killed because he couldn’t get off the plane or he got trampled by others trying to get off (we have all seen or heard of this happening) somebody would sue the pants off the airline. I think the airline is just trying to protect itself from the sue happy crowd. That said, there should be a waiver maybe incase he did get hurt so he could choose for himself if he wants to fly or not. I don’t think this has anything to do with left or right, just safety and CYA for the airlines.

      Thank God they repealed Don’t Ask, Don’T Tell, If the airline had been able to question him more thoroughly ,they could have weeded him out as a flight risk. Now they can screen passengers for being extremely stupid, abnormally slow, embarassingly weak, unbearably smelly, exceedinly short
      annoyingly pious, ETC. Might even be a way to get another airline fees, and a new government surcharge,

      Sailor, I hope they weed out the unbearably smelly, those people are just being a-holes. Why would you dump a whole bottle of perfume on yourself and go sit in close quarters with other people (I happen to be alergic to perfume). A person knows if he smells bad, take a shower hippie!

      He seems as capable or more capable than someone who weighs four hundred pounds, but then again, they couldn’t charge him for an extra seat, could they. I don’t see anything reasonable about this at all. Especially since the person who seated him is the one who kicked him off.

      Statistics show that you have just 90 seconds to exit a crashed plane before being overcome by smoke or fire. Climb over the seats to the nearest exit and start pulling people out.

      Yeah, Rev. WC and everything they tell you is “for your own good” since you’re too stupid to figure it out on your own… dontcha think it has occurred to this guy that his odds aren’t good if the plane goes down? so I guess the libs will force “safety” on him, for his own good of course, sorry sir no airplanes for you!

      You’d think he was the pilot or something. Based on the logic of getting in the way or not able to help in his own evacuation, will my small children be the next to not be able to fly. What about kids flying alone? Don’t they require a stew … a flight attendant’s assistance? This is ridiculous. Breakout the ADA lawyers.

      I thought it might be Obama and he couldn’t get on without the help of his teleprompter. Seriously, I hope they are able to get this policy worked out for all concerned.

      Please, people, remember that we are too good to make so many negative comments about others. We don’t improve the world by making fun of Biden or tearing others down. Please, pray for the fools that exist and hold up those with good morals!
