If the delta airlines passenger who is deaf is not disabled (as you say it's not regarded as a disability especially by the deaf community), and she is treated with a personalized note, why shouldn't a disabled passenger receive the same treatment? How is it not comparable?

Should a disabled passenger not receive the same treatment because he is disabled?
