As I said we certainly didn't mind moving to accommodate the wheelchair passenger although we certainly didn't like the seats we ended up in. However, we were a little puzzled as to how the situation had arisen. Mrs. FF worked until recently as Secretary to a Spinal Surgeon and arranged medical transfers involving people in wheelchairs between Northern Ireland and hospitals in Great Britain. These people were always given very specific instructions about arriving at the airport early as they would board the aircraft first. In this case it was obvious the cabin crew had no idea a wheelchair user was going to be on board and the situation had obviously taken the flight dispatcher by surprise as well.
