Eric,
My travel cane takes up much less room than a flight attendant guiding me to the toilet. Anyway, the point is that I will not just hand off responsibility for me to another person. I am as able bodied as any other passenger, and probably more so than some. Why would I allow some distorted notion of what a blind person can or cannot do become the issue? If I were sighted, young and good looking...okay, so that good looking part is a stretch...but if I were, I would never be questioned as to my ability to enter and exit a plane, or to travel about the plane.
How you choose to travel is your business and I will support that right. All I ask is that others respect mine.

So why not use assistance instead and not use the cane for getting on and
off the aircraft?
