As a person that "doesn't look disabled" your statements about pushing pre-board people to back is beyond problematic. If I had to go to the back I would have to walk the entire length of the plane, which I am not able to do without the use of my cane or walker, that I have to check at the door. Most people that pre-board sit in the front of the plane because they struggle to walk long distances or move through the row on thier own. Perhaps the solution to the problem is to accept that you are not able to judge if a stranger is "worthy" of pre-boarding. Have some compassion for people, educate yourself on invisable disabilties and illnesses. The fact that you say that you will "start carrying a cane" is SO incredibly offensive to the people that have to use mobility devices and struggle to navigate these spaces constantly because of people like you. I am sure there a a few people that take advantage of the system but think about how wonderful it is that for once in the world people that do have disabilities are able to ask for a reasonable acommidation without having to tell personal details about their health and bodies and be treated with respect. You are so lucky to not ever had to experince being judged, harassed, or worse by people like you who think thier need for leg room is more important than my abilty to walk to a seat on my own. Educate yourself.
