          So far, once security arrive and see that the person refusing to leave the plane is physically unable to leave the plane, the bat starts to get swung towards the airline. I've been lucky I guess in that the human factor always kicks in to my favour.

          Once I had law enforcement called (I can't remember where I was exactly - as frequent fliers can empathise with - but it was somewhere in east Asia, maybe China) to remove me and I was freaking out about being stuck into a prison, and when the officers arrived they took one look at me and started SCREAMING at the flight crew. If I hadn't been stressed to the hilt and freaking about about the deadline I was missing I probably would have found it hilarious.

          (Also sorry if I sounded facetious before, where I'm from being legless is slang for being drunk so I was making a joke that I now realise no one else will have got)

            Nice to hear there's still a good amount of sensible people out there, and that some of them are even in law enforcement.

              It's easy to lump everyone together into the 'bad'uns" category, but from my experience even the worst of bad'uns have some humanity in them.

              Sometime it's just very deep down ;)

          Im not usually one to suggest lawsuits, but baby would this be textbook discrimination

          also probably breach of contract (you paid for someone to get you a wheelchair which didnt happen)
