Flew home from NY earlier this summer and we counted 7 wheelchairs. Everyone one with extreme “culcha” and all 7 35-50 at oldest. None had any discernible illness or disability and they all had the same shirts on (sorority or family reunion or something). After we landed, everyone of them jumped up and walked off unassisted. Complete bullshite. Using the system to board first and make all of us wait..
I'm 40 and don't have a "discernible illness or disability" and can even walk a few hundred feet without being noticeably disabled.

What is the benefit of boarding first anyways, and do you really think it's worth faking a disability over?

You’re the one who doesn’t get it. The judgment without facts is stupid. Needing it getting on and not off may have a reason. I can think of many. You’re close minded and unintelligent.

Again, he’s not talking about people who actually need it. Including those who are wheeled to the area, but can walk down the jetway. Nor is he talking about those who can walk off the plane and up the jetway but then need a wheelchair to navigate the airport.

He’s talking about the fatasses who get wheeled around the airport, then get wheeled down the jetway, however when they arrive at their destination they hop right out of their seat and walk off the plane, walk up the jetway, and through the terminal with no issues. I work for a major us airline and see it all the time. Nobody is mad about those who have a legit need for the wheelchair whether obvious or not.

The issue is that you can't know someone's health status and needs just from looking at them, and it's none of your fricking business to determine whether or not someone else "deserves" to be assisted.
