If I were disabled, I'd been ticked at all of the scammers.
On a flight CMH-IAD on a CRJ-200 1A&B were asked to move to 1C&D to accommodate 2 disabled passengers (I was supposed to be 1B). They were both elderly and when we deplaned in IAD they were the 3rd and 4th people off the plane. The gangway/ramp on wheels was loaded while they both came down to their waiting airport transfer chairs. While not too many were really delayed as we waited for gate checked bags to be unloaded, I wondered about the load capacity of the ramp. I was happy I was already on the tarmac.
