Passenger forced to drag himself off Air Canada flight after airline failed to provide wheelchair assistance

Rodney Hodgins, a man with spastic cerebral palsy, was forced to drag himself off an Air Canada Flight in Las Vegas after the airline failed to provide the required wheelchair assistance. The airline did not provide an aisle chair, and the flight attendant told Rodney to get to the front of the plane by himself. Rodney and his wife, Deanna, were shocked and eventually had no choice but to drag themselves to the front, while Air Canada staff watched but did not intervene. Air Canada has apologized and offered a $2,000 flight voucher, but the Hodgins are seeking a formal apology and a change in policy.
