Fury at wheelchair loophole being exploited on Southwest flights

Southwest Airlines has come under fire for letting able-bodied flyers use wheelchair assistance to board early.

On a flight on Sunday, a passenger tweeted that he had counted 30 people get early boarding after lining up in wheelchairs.

But only two needed them to disembark, he wrote - suggesting 28 passengers has either been cured on the flight or were gaming the system. He also posted a picture of many of the passengers who needed assistance boarding.
