Another disabled traveler horror story: Delta passenger with muscular dystrophy forced to crawl off plane

I'm really surprised. Two years ago, my husband ruptured his patellar tendon, and could barely walk, and I had to get him back to NY from Atlanta. I switched our flight to Delta, in order to get a direct flight back to NY, and the Delta folks could not have been more helpful. They helped me arrange, with the Atlanta airport, to have a wheelchair right at the curb, and an attendant to wheel him to the airplane door. All he had to do was hobble to his seat. In NY, a wheelchair was waiting at the plane door, and we were taken all the way out to the curb. I'm astounded by this story, as Delta could not have been more accommodating or nicer to us during this very tough time.
