Well, no employee is going to be expected to physically lift me and every other passenger at any point, but they will have to lift all of our checked baggage, so it feels like my weight matters less than my luggage's weight.
I don't want to "well actually" but I'm disabled and need to be pushed in my chair through the airport and to + down the gate corridor. Every time I arrive at the plane door, someone greets me from the plane and asks "do you need help (boarding the plane)". Luckily I can hobble with my cane for short distances, so I don't need to be carried like I'm going to the bedroom in a romcom, but they do have staff that can aid with that...
Now I'm imagining a plane full of disabled people all being carried. Boarding time, 11a, departure, 3p. 😋
Your imagination isn't accounting for all the insanity that people loading themselves do. Loading might be faster for the carried folks.
That's fair. Now I wonder how liability works with that since they could hurt themselves and you in the process. And surely they are people that just cannot be lifted by one person.
