I too Love to fly South West I fly severel times a year with several children usually. I do have to ask what does it take to get a wheel chair to a destination undamaged. Our daughter MaryElizabeth is the little girl in the power wheelchair near the end of this video.

Her wheelchair has been damaged on all of our last three flights. It is now Febuary 11th and her wheelchair has not been in proper working order for an extended time. It was damaged on an outgoing flight on our return trip it was damaged even more. That was Jan 1 2007 We are still waiting for her chair...For her this has been like having her legs taken away. I has been very taxing on her body due to the lack of support in the chair she is using. Mrs hall has tried hard to solve this for us but our daughter is still paying the price. She has missed 5 of the last 7 school days due to fatigue a direct result of not having her power chair. PLEASE find a way to transport chairs without all the damage.
