If they're disabled they don't want to be hoisted on a rickety lifting device or manhandled onto a narrow airline weelchair or told they have to return to their port of embarkation because there are only stairs available to get them off. If you want travel perfection then you need to charter your own corporate jet otherwise we all have to cope with the inconveniences of mass public airline travel.
Worse being under weight in the middle seat next to two considerably over weight passengers - that in an emergency reduce my chance of survival significantly and a simple look by any Captain would know that. But the show in this case, must go on.
