Only once in about 300 flights have I ever shared the plane with a
person who required assistance in getting to/from their seat (which I
suspect is a reasonable proxy for "travelling with their own wheelchair")
The disabled as a proportion of all air travellers is irrelevant. We
were actually considering the proportion of disabled people who travel
by air. You're getting a bit mixed up.

"disabled as a proportion" is a similar commodity as "proportion of
disabled people" in the context of "of all air travellers" or even
"people who travel by air"
What exactly are you saying? I have never knowing flown in an aircraft
who needed that level of assistance.
