 MP> What airline/airport did the wheelchair come in.
 MP> Does this happen a lot, or just seldomly.

Mika,
    I don't know about the others, but the few times that an airport
help person has met me at the gate with a wheelchair, it has been
obviously caused by a lack of more specific instruction from the flight
crew to the airport than, "we have a disabled passenger who may need
assistance", therefore an assumption being made that was inaccurate, and
a very quick realization on the part of the wheelchair pusher that it
wasn't needed and a statement on their part acknolaging such!
                                                        Willie

... BlinkTalk, Dr. Deb and Silver in Pittsburgh!
