Require airlines provide spaces for passengers to stay in their wheelchairs

Summary

Require airlines to provide safe, secure spaces on planes where wheelchair users can remain in their own wheelchairs during short-haul and long-haul flights. I have quadriplegic cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. When I fly, I need two people to support me. I have to be lifted into my aircraft seat because I cannot use an aisle chair. I can also slip or slide in the aircraft seat. I believe wheelchair users should be able to remain in their own wheelchairs during flights where it is safe and possible. This should apply to both short-haul and long-haul flights. Wheelchair users deserve to travel safely and with dignity.
