I pretty much accept the crap and deal with it. At least when I usually fly (Frontier) there's no pretext that I'm getting nothing more than what they allege to be a "seat" (nearer metal bars and nylon straps in my book). And I would never fly with pets purely because there's an inherent gap on what pets mean to me and what my pets mean to others. ...it's like being the foreman with an office above the kill line, isn't it?
http://www.tmz.com/2018/03/14/united-airlines-dead-dog-damages-overhead/ Keep shorting this stock down to zero. There is no other airline on earth that has as bad as customer service as this airline. It's only a matter of time...
Yeah, United does not have hubs in good places for that (America's sewer, notwithstanding). Colorado and California both have additional protections over and above the "actual cash value" of a pet...other states are following suit.
Well... they f'd up again. They shipped some family's German Sheppard to Japan and instead gave them a Great Dane. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/united-airlines-mistakenly-flies-kansas-bound-german-shepherd-to-japan/
Oh you are kidding me. They killed that dog and they thought to just the passenger a ticket refund??!! They are looking at AT LEAST a Negligence lawsuit on top of what that Illinois law stipulates. Perhaps the same lawyer who represented Dr. Dao would represent this dog owner as well. LOL
That bad a$$ lawyer that Dr. Dao hired just spoke up: The family of that dog should be significantly compensated because they were put up to it because of their fear of consequences of non-compliance of stewardess' commands. Uh oh...not good for United. Its stock has already dropped 1+% in today's trading: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/l...e-for-death-of-dog-in-overhead-bin-2018-03-14 Looks like another lawsuit that the lawyer is preparing...
And the stewardess has the gull to claim that she didn't hear the passenger who told her repeatedly it's a dog that is in the carrier that she was not aware that it's a dog that she has instructed to be placed in overhead bin. http://www.tmz.com/2018/03/14/united-airlines-dead-dog-new-pet-carrier-tags-kokito-dies/ OMG!! How do United Airlines train their crews??!! They should work as prison guards. LOL
Read, speak, and understand English is a absolute and explicit FAA regulation for all air crew. Sounds like it's time for dismissal if passengers heard but the crew did not.
