Should a disabled passenger not receive the same treatment because he is disabled?
The deaf person was also a minor - I bet that had something to do with it too. I've seen deaf passengers on several airlines, both US and European, being mostly ignored!

But I don't think a comparison like this is that useful (valid or not!) It doesn't make me think any worse of BA because of the comparison you are making. The report by navylad was pretty damning by itself!
