Allow Veterans with 100% service connected disability rating to use Space-A.

[IBAVet]

I have been lurking around here for years and this is my first post!

So I'm 70% disabled vet right now and going through the process of getting a higher rating. I put together a Petition on the White House site and would like for everyone who reads this post to at least give it a read. It will only take a minute of your time and would increase benefits to 100% disabled vets.

There is no downside to this.  Its possible to put (disabled Vets) as a lower priority, however, that does not make sense either.  I signed the petition.

The defense bill has Space A included and Hagel made it disappear.

How do we like that move. The Air Force does not want disabled vets flying space a.

Last time I looked at "Space A" was in 2014, as I recall, "Space A" even for Retired Vets required extreme flexibility with one's travel Plans. Getting where you wanted to go, when you wanted to be there was somewhat problematic. You certainly couldn't rely on it for any "Time Sensitive" travel back then, but things may have changed.
