FL AG Demands Airline Tell Why It Refused Quad
TAMPA, FEB. 18, 2005--Last Saturday, Phil Barrett was on board a US Airways flight ready to fly from Tampa to Cleveland for surgery when airline personnel suddenly removed him.
Even though Barrett, who uses a ventilator to breathe and a wheelchair, had been on nearly two dozen flights with US Airways in the past, airline officials decided this time that his ventilator was a life-support device and that he now presented a medical risk.
