Couple of thoughts...
1) it always amazes me the number of allegedly disabled pax who miraculously receive healing and walk off the aircraft, when advised that the wheelchair is 30 mins away.
2) MO'L doesn't care in the slightest about disabled pax, they are a small proportion of his clientele who slow his operation down considerably.
3) Perhaps one way to solve the problem would be to advise all disabled pax that, in the event of a major emergency, they will almost certainly die, whereas the able-bodied person next to them may well survive. Sad, but true- and shown to be so by those studies at Cranwell.
4) Do disabled people have "rights" when it comes to air travel? I am not at all sure that they do, as- by extension- these "rights" could become ridiculous. For example, I should be entitled to a first-class "seat bed" on account of my gammy leg... hmmm don't think so...
