experience disability-related air service problems.
Disability groups helped to
test out the hotline before it became
operational and DOT will use caller feedback in the

tune the system for effective response to disability
issues in air travel. A press
release announcing the hotline to
the general public should be issued
in a month or two following this consumer
feedback stage.
