Most of the people being wheeled on/off AC these days need the wheelchairs. And yes, I have seen the wheelchairs lines up three deep for a flight from Florida to DTW.
My post was mostly tongue in cheek. Of course it doesn't bother me none, and of course I wouldn't deny a vision-impaired person his guide... but, I also know people who start to tear up the minute they walk into a room with a dog or cat. So I wonder how the balance the two issues. No smoking, but pet-dander is OK? (and no, I don't smoke)
