Under the planned rules mishandling a wheelchair would be a violation of the ACAA, airlines would be required to immediately notify the passenger of their rights. Airlines would be required to repair or replace the wheelchair at the preferred vendor of the passenger's choice as well as provide a loaner wheelchair that fits the passenger's needs/requirements
More than 150 flight attendants, joined by U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” Garcia (D-Ill) and Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill), picketed outside O’Hare Airport on Tuesday to protest the lack of contract negotiations and demand better wages and working conditions.
The flight attendants in Chicago were joined by thousands of other flight attendants across major cities such as New York City, Los Angeles and Boston, as part of the Worldwide Flight Attendant Day of Action. More than two-thirds of U.S. flight attendants across 24 airlines are in contract negotiations, including with Chicago-based United Airlines, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines.
“We are the faces of our carriers. We deserve better work rules, we deserve shorter work days and we also deserve longer rest periods,” said Dray Howard, Chicago-based president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, during a news conference.
Flight attendants at American Airlines haven’t seen a salary or cost-of-living increase in five years, Howard said, and some new hires can barely survive, even when picking up trips on their days off, she said.

No one has been reported as hurt, but the two people calmly sitting right next to the large OPEN FUCKING HOLE! in the aircraft fuselage need some kind of cash award or something (maybe like a class action lawsuit award or something, for mental anguish or pain and suffering, idk)
As far as I’m concerned, Boeing already has two strikes against them for their previous lies about their 747s that got innocent people killed
