RSW arriving flights have many retired people who are in wheelchairs while waiting to/boarding, but I have gotten off near last having flown in the back of the plane and there were many (up to 10) still waiting to go on and get their passengers which I didn't see any.

On our last 2 trips to the Philippines, we flew DL FLL-JFK (vv) and PR JFK-MNL (vv). While we are nearly the First one to board, we are the last to disembark as she needs an aisle wheelchair from the door to our seat. Since we were in business class, we ended up being the last to disembark and by the time we got to baggage claim, all of the bags were off the belt, and we had to go find them on the floor. The good news is that both wheelchair attendants at JFK helped us transverse to the other terminal after baggage claim and also "cut the line in Immigration and Customs.

I know this is an UA thread, but I believe this is on topic to this discussion.
