Boarding someone in an aisle chair is supposed to happen during the pre-boarding process. Something obviously prevented this. But if it's "humiliating" for this Marine, why wouldn't it be humiliating for any other disabled person?
It would be just as humiliating I'm sure. However, in this day where airlines (and other businesses) are making a point of crowing about "taking special care" of veterans (especially wounded ones) who gave to their country, it's in direct contradiction to that. That's why it was brought up.
What did the 104 degree fever have to do with anything?
Probably nothing to the actions in the incident, other than weaking and stressing the veteran to the point of tears.
Anyway, having said that, one action by one crew doesn't define any company or any airline.
Just saw about 40 rampers standing around a Delta jet in Atlanta an hour ago paying respects to a fallen warrior being offloaded on the ramp.
It was nice to see that today. Good show.
