Airlines are actually not required to board “disabled” early and are almost prevented from challenging a claim of “disability”. Add on to the abuse, it seems every “person who needs extra time” is accompanied by anywhere from 1-5 family members.
UA should just board those in wheelchairs with one companion (more if minors in tow). Everyone else w/ their groups.
