In Trudeau’s Canada, I’m surprised they didn’t offer the man government-assisted suicide.

They didn’t have time, apparently.

Massive law suit, and how quick did the plane have to leave???
To: DFG
There weren’t any real men around who would physically help this poor man so he didn’t have to humiliate himself???

I’m sorry, but I have to wonder why this man complied and subjected himself to this disgraceful embarrassment.

Apology?
They need to own part of the airline.
This is unconscionable. There is no excuse for this and they could have delayed their schedule a little bit to find a wheelchair and get the guy off the plane.
It probably would have taken less time than making him do it himself.

But they had time to wait for him to crawl out of the plane?
Not buying the *We don’t have time* excuse.

Idk how things work in Canada but I’d get out of my seat and help the man.
My kid would be right there with me.
Eff that airline.
To: metmom
Airlines usually contact the gate agent to let them know how many wheelchairs are needed. And these folks are the first to board and last to deplane. No excuse.

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 I call BS on that. I'm pretty sure that airlines have a wheelchair ready when they know a flight is coming in with a disabled person on it. Which they had to know since he was wheeled onto the plane.
Also, as another FReeper noted, weren't there ANY real men on the plane to help?

The only thing in doubt is how big will be the check that Air Canada writes to him. In addition to the check I would demand free first class tickets for he and his wife for the rest of their life. This man was humiliated unnecessarily.

And it is because if you do not follow the instructions from the waitress in the sky they will call the police and have you beaten up and hauled off by force.
He did not need any more damage to his body.
And all the sheep said "baaaaaaa".

No one on the plane offered to help them? That’s disgusting

Passengers that need a wheelchair are deplaned last. Management has probably told the flight crew not to lift disabled passengers as they do want to get sued if the crewmember drops the passenger.
