If he didn't bother to request special assistance what's his beef, exactly?
Self inflicted event imo, and no one "forced" him - he volunteered to make the climb by the sound of it.
Not saying the airline exactly covered itself with glory - far from it, but not quite the brutal event suggesed by the headline.
Just like the shrieking "doctor" removal a couple of months back - events severely misreported by sensationalist penmanship.

Yes, noflynomore, but the social media kids will be the judge. Nowadays, everyone must presume that an uninformed person will post something for the junk press to print.

Now a similar story in the UK (not airline so apologies for drift to S.o.S.)
'Humiliating' benefits assessments must end after disabled woman forced to ?crawl? up DWP stairs, says Scope | The Independent
Maria Quinn, who is partially sighted and walks with the aid of a wheeled frame, described how she was left feeling “mortified and panicked” after finding there was no step-free access for her consultation at a disability benefits centre.
“There is no ramp or flat entrance to the disability assessment building…that’s right folks! You read it correctly,” Ms Quinn wrote on Facebook
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Nothing like factual and unemotive reporting.
This statement has so many contradictions that it destroys the impact of the story.
ye olde ultra solid not-concrete-but-possibly-some-sort of-titanium-killer-stairs…you know the ones! Crumbly ends from centuries of feet and furniture and goodness knows what.”

All true Pontius Navigator, as we see in this forum all the time. But the social media has it's own story and generates it's own influence. THAT is what causes as big a problem as the original, not least due to the hyperbole and contradictions. As Trump has found to his delight.
