I agree with your sentiments 100%, although your argument about in care incidents and diversions is false since those are responses to emergencies, whereas providing wheelchairs for the disabled as a matter of course is not.
A case can be made for applying financial sanctions against anybody who does not fit an airline's own concept of an "ideal" passenger.
Is this not what happens with life and medical insurance premiums?
I believe that we should look after those less fortunate than us, but we need to face up to facts and the facts are that loco airlines are not in that business. If we wish (as a society) to have very cheap airfares, then how we deal with 'fairness' is an issue that needs to be faced.
The loco industry is relatively immature in Europe and issues such as this and the subsidies paid by airports and Chambers of Commerce need to be consdiered and dealt with.
It may be that loco carriers cannot surive with today's operating models.
