A wheelchair is a persons personal independence and mobility freedom
Very strange how hundreds of wheelchair passengers fly every day/week without drama, yet when one prima donna gets on his high horse, because he doesn't want to follow the rules, so many people automatically jump to defend him just because he's a cripple.
This guys is obviously far more mobile than your average wheelchair user, in fact he even dragged himself along the Kokoda track under his own steam (NOT using a wheelchair) just to prove a point.
He was offered an airline wheelchair - which is standard practice, but he chose to make a scene, and demand he get his own way, and do what he wanted.
Sorry all you bleeding hearts, this guy is nothing more than a whinging troublemaker, and if I owned Jetstar I'd permanently ban him from flying on the airline ever again.
