“one fatty after another was shuffled to the head of the line in from of hundreds of people who had been waiting for two hours.”

I know able bodied people who have ordered a wheelchair just for this purpose. Just one more example of why, when whatever happens comes, we in the US probably deserve it.

He should have yelled out to His friend “Hi Jack, could You please help find a wheelchair ?”

That would gotten a fire lit under someone’s A$$ !!!

Prepare to get your A$$ $UED OFF air canada !!!

And the settlement should include that there be at least one (1) Wheelchair AT EVERY GATE, ALL THE TIME IN THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT air canada provides service.

Useless scumbags...

To look at me, you would presume I am able bodied.

I used to be able to haul it from one end of the terminal to the other.

Now, I would collapse and have a seizure. I physically can’t do it anymore. Sometimes the issues are not readily visible.

I am talking about people I know to be in good health abusing the accommodations we make for disabled people.

That’s insane. Surely they could have asked the ground crew to bring some sort of luggage cart.
