Listen, I've had to lift and carry 6ft2 elderly into and out of their seat and then the airplane specific wheelchair needed to have clearance to board the plane. It takes a minute. Not everybody is you, some people need help and others need a little extra time. Calm the fuck down.
"wheelchair" it's a torture trolley.
We always used to just sit until everyone else was off the plane except crew of course, since it took that long to get my husband's power wheelchair from the baggage compartment to the gate anyway. Then I'd check they hadn't damaged it too much to drive, and lift him into it from the torture trolley. Or into the manual chair if they really had broken the electric one. Otherwise it was good for schlepping stuff.
God, these days we don't even try, it's gotten less and less accessible because airlines are exempt from the ADA.
Could you please calm down?
