and more about airlines and white canes

A friend suggested that all we have to do is to explain to flight attendants that we are allowed to keep our white canes with us during flight.  They will then understand. 
 
They do not understand.  Period  Believe me.  I am as patient and articulate as anyone I know, but I have tried to reason with some airline staff who are either robots or programmed to ignore all conversation.  They might try to be nice about it or they might turn hostile, but they never turn reasonable. 
I no longer fight that fight.  I pre-board and get my cane out of sight before the flight attendants notice it.  That is the only way I've found to "reason" with them.
