Most of us have seen the 'miracle' flights in Florida
where a very large number of people 'require' wheelchairs to get to their flight and then get up and walk all over the airplane and walk off at their destination. This trend is growing all the time. I don't get it. Do most of these folks think they get a better seat on the plane? An easier trip through security? Better service?
I walk slowly, but I make my own way. I make sure that I have a lot of connection time. Especially with long days of flying, I feel the walk does me good. I believe in saving the wheel chairs for the folks who really need them. They aren't toys or time savers for the general public.
