Wheelchair user left on tarmac for hours, says family

A woman using a wheelchair was left on a tarmac for hours in Las Vegas en route from California to Florida, says her family. She was then moved into a hallway but was unable to get assistance from anyone, according to family members. Apparently airline employees were contacted by her family after the woman called her family at 3 a.m.  and she was able to continue her trip. She was flying US Airways.

Update: US Airways has publicly disputed the woman's timeline, indicating that the matter was taken care of promptly and states that at no time was she left unattended.
