I agree what the man has achieved is inspirational and that it must be difficult to lose some of your independence by having to be pushed out to the aircraft, but seriously, to make this kind of scene really was uncalled for. And as for comparing it to being carried or pushed around with your pants down... give me a break.
Jetstar forces wheelchair passenger to crawl across tarmac
Nobody "forced" him to do this, it was his own choice...
He said he was unfamiliar with how the supplied wheelchair operated.
Im not familiar with Jetstars wheelchairs, but surely its not rocket science to operate them.
Also, its a wonder how the media didnt find a way to turn this back on Qantas... everything else seens to be their fault!
