Disabled man drags himself off plane after Air Canada fails to offer wheelchair

Had a similar problem on Spirit just this month. I can get on and off the plane fine, but I need a wheelchair to get to and from the gate to the curb.

In Portland, got a chair from the counter to the gate, no problem. Was assured a chair would be waiting in Vegas... no chair.

I had to hang around the gate until they figured it out, but there was no way I was getting from the gate to the cab stand on my own.

Apparently racing themselves to the bottom:

Air Canada sorry for booting passengers who refused vomit-soiled seats

That’s awful.

What the hell, Canada? You're supposed to be our friendly neighbor to the north!

But when the plane landed, the flight attendant told the couple there wasn’t time to get a wheelchair on board before the plane had to prepare for takeoff again

That's a problem for the airline to explain to the delayed passengers of the next flight. Maybe if they didn't cram their flights so close together that there's no time to resolve problems from the previous flight they wouldn't have that issue.

And pay your employees when they're working you greedy fucks.

that's crazy. hope he sues

Holy shit that's depressing.
