Roberta: The ability to buy an airline ticket online is a service that should be available to all people but the recent outcome of the law suit filed against Jet Blue Airways and California State doesn’t see it that way.
Today Sarah Pulis, manager of Digital Media and Technology from Media Access Australia is going to talk to us about the law suit against Jet Blue Airways and what the outcomes means for people with disabilities. So joining us in the studio is Sarah, hi Sarah.
Sarah: Hi Roberta.
