Airline CEOs Demand Crackdown on Wheelchair Service Abuse

TL;DR Summary
The CEO of Frontier Airlines has criticized the widespread abuse of wheelchair assistance by passengers who fake disabilities to gain airport perks like priority boarding and access to overhead bin space. This practice not only incurs unnecessary costs for airlines but also delays services for genuinely disabled passengers. The CEO is calling for strict penalties similar to those for parking in handicapped spaces to curb this dishonest behavior.
