It is happening with Airbus aircraft also. Many aircraft that fly into LGA and JFK pick up rats from the catering trucks, not to long ago rats the size of a small dog are retrieved ( by the exterminators) when the planes are laid down for days ( sometimes weeks) to repair the wiring and ducting made of environmentally “ friend.y” rat food.
If I was willing and able to post pictures I would, ( I won’t), you would never fly an Airbus again…..
I’m not flying in any thing. Not afraid to fly, just don’t like airports. But this is just crazy. Rat smorgasbord.
I will add the airline exterminators use the old fashioned method to kill the rats- mouse traps with peanut butter- the one I saw measured in at 16” from head to tail….
On your next flight when you hear the litter patter of tiny footsteps from the overhead and sidewalks, realize you are not imagining things….best to report it to the senior FA and get the pilot to make a logbook entry.
