Actually, his biggest gripe is that the airport couldnt provide a self propelled wheelchair like lots of other airports doExplain the difference between being pushed through an airport in a wheelchair, and being driven in a cart by a driver. This man seems to believe that one carries a higher status than the other, I’m finding it difficult to understand why.
Because it wasn’t. It was unfortunate but shit happens. There was no deliberate targeting of him as an individual. He is taking it as a personal slight, when in reality, it’s just one of those things that happens when thousands of people and their luggage are being from place to place.
ALL passengers are warned that their luggage might get lost. People are told to pack some of their belongings in hand luggage, some if travelling with others should pack some of their items in the other persons luggage. It’s about being prepared for the unfortunate situations.
The airport provides for the loss of wheelchairs by providing wheelchairs propelled by helpers. Even if the wheelchair was self propelled there would be an airport representative present to see the passenger off the premises, so they would still be under supervision.
What he is actually demanding is special treatment, above all others, to ensure that his personal belongings should be protected. That’s not fair to other passengers.
People are getting confused with definition of equality. Equality doesn't mean treating people the same, it should mean making sure that everybody can reach the same end goal. If that means treating some people different to achieve that then that's fine
