What on earth do you mean by the disability sector of the population?
These days with Twitter, everybody having a reasonable quality stills/movie camera on their phone it's pretty easy for the media to pick up stories and the pictures to back them up. Even if the parents did wilfully chase media coverage it's hardly behaviour unique to those with disabilities or their carers. Getting it in the public eye emphasises the message to this airline to up its game and will be a salutatory reminder to the others too.
Did Jet2 'fes up and apologise/compensate before the headlines were hit ?
I'd say the most egregious chasers of media coverage are 'wronged' motorists:

As ever the 'wronged' is in his head. He works in a field, roofing, that generates trade waste; he needs a permit.
