Nyle DiMarco went to Twitter to let American Airlines know that he was wondering why their in-flight entertainment still doesn’t have subtitles? The response he got surprised him and now Twitter is showing support for Nyle DiMarco and Twitter is starting to troll American Airlines for not having 100% accessibility for all on their flights.
.@AmericanAir, your movies did not have subtitles for me as a Deaf person.
It is 2015.
When are you going to be 100% accessible for all?— Nyle DiMarco (@NyleDiMarco) November 24, 2015
And…
@NyleDiMarco Currently we do not show closed-captioned TV viewing as a standard feature.

And then…
@NyleDiMarco The fact that close-captioned writing on small screens may cover the monitors.

…
@NyleDiMarco We have a limited number of close captioned movies for customers with a hearing disability.
