The long-awaited mandatory reporting requirement has kicked in, thanks to Senator Duckworth. So if you experience any issues with airline wheelchair handling, please make a report, which will drive potential funding to reduce such incidents.

Note that there is a separate complaint category for discriminatory treatment of people with disabilities as well. So if you experience that (hopefully not!), please report it as well.
 
In Canada we just passed legislation that requires compensation for being bumped/ delayed by airlines. This is common for people traveling with a wheelchair. It isn't just inconvenient, it is something to be compensated for.
