  New Data Shows Airlines Damage 25 Wheelchairs Per Day

  Senator Tammy Duckworth, who uses a wheelchair herself, was key in authoring legislation that requires air carriers to report the number of wheelchairs and scooters they damage each month. New data shows that US airlines damage about 25 wheelchairs PER DAY. 

  Have you herd of this legislation? Did the results surprise you? What has been your experience flying with these airlines? How can airlines better serve our community and mobility devices?
