It ought to be against the law to put an animal in the pit.

why i don't work for show dog people anymore...

It is against the law to put an animal in the cabin where it could potentially become a 900lb missile traveling throughout the cabin during an impact. If the animal is no bigger than a lap-child (these children are referred to as a “meat missile” in the industry) or it can fit under the seat in front for takeoff and landing without going into the egress area, that’s ok, but otherwise not legal.

I understand that. It still shouldn't be okay to put a living animal in the cargo pit.

Edit: and if we're going to make it about "safety", Mr. FAA man, we need to talk about the pre-kinetic energy, actual 900lb person, using the "seat belt extender" in the emergency exit row. Also, "assumed average weight".

This was a really big reason we went with getting Tori certified was for air travel and general travel, really. I mean, my ex wife lacks arms (no, really) and that for sure sucks, but she didn't NEED Tori for help, but she was quite helpful. Her disability is not only obvious, but also justified for a service animal (that actually does a service like open doors, carry crap, turn on lights, fetch beers). Now the two pit bulls she passed off as also being certified after Tori passed was a whole other mess.

But then we'd all be in jail.

Back to the drawing board.

flying should just be reserved for dainty little shits...

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Also, by the time you get to the meat missile stage, everyone is going to be dead anyway...

Weight and balance yo.

Put everyone on a goddamn scale and make them pay weight X mileage. And yea, there ought to be an upper limit. I'm much less concerned about someones dog or lap child than I am about some "average american" clogging up the damn exit row or overwing door like some sort of greasy, human bathtub plug.

That too is not ok, eat seat can handle a max passenger weight of 215lbs, 3 seats together 645lbs, so they would be exceeding the max those seats can handle.

But yeah, I shouldn't be subjected to a lower margin of safety or flying objects in a crash due to other people's choices.

Just the opposite actually, the meat missiles go first and I have knowledge of many accidents where adults survived, but unrestrained lap children did not.

Anyone know where I can get an emotional support peacock?

Gutted to read from the peacock news piece that I can no longer take an emotional support spider on Delta flights

 

[Westy]

This is why I prefer to travel with an emotional support prostitute. Of course with airlines cutting back I now have to bring my own blanket for in flight handies.

You're being persecuted.

You know it's only a matter of time before someone from Florida tries to take a Gator on a flight.

i once had to fly with cats. because we were moving from LA to NJ and that was how things had to happen.

To qualify the Philly part was fine. I cheaped out and didn't buy a direct flight. Rochester has the shittiest airport anywhere. Worse then Detroit...

detroit's airport is a paradise compared to charlotte...or atlanta's

 

[KenW449]

I really don't like the Vegas Airport! I walked a good quarter mile to find the screens for my connection. I was looking for big screens like all other Airports i have been too. Turns out, it was these tiny ass little screens that i walked by many of not paying attention to them. Turns out, my connection was 2 gates down from where i started. They sure as fuck had giant screens for advertisement though.

Never been to Charlottes, but Atlanta is just super JFK Newark Busy, It was pretty manageable and had a Fuddruckers.

 

[KenW449]

I think we should be at this point by now.

Hamburgers were so so. However they made a excellent $4 Vodka Gimlets in the bar. If you tipped well they would list your drinks as appetizers and deserts on the bill. Thus making it easier to submit on your expense sheet. Same thing with California Pizza Kitchen. Nobody actually eats their pizza...

 

[JohnE]

I dont know which way to go with this one. An emotional support...hamster? Airline employee tells chick to flush it after denying her boarding with a carry on...hamster? Dumb girl actually flushes a...hamster? Thats what you get for flying Spirit I guess...
