Want to bring an Animal with you (outside of a Seeing Eye Dog), sit in the Baggage Compartment with it.
All my poor little snake does is bite, only injecting small amounts of venom, but that horse POOPS, probably most of the time.
The guy in the blue shirt reminds me of me, without the horse, except I go first class. Less squeeze.
This thread’s getting to be a lot of fun.
The real problem is how in decline airline quality and experience has become. Especially US-based carriers. National embarrassment if you ask me
Flying in the 1960s was a real pleasure.
For one thing, people dressed up to fly. Women in dresses and men in suits. No security to speak of. Could arrive ten minutes before your flight and just check in and board and if anyone was there to see you off they could walk all the way to the gate with you.
On long flights you would get a full meal.
I quit flying when airlines became Greyhound of the air. People would travel wearing clothe as if they were doing yard work and had not bother to shower before getting on the plane.
And don’t get me started on smaller and smaller seats and no leg rooms, and a meal consisted of a bag of chips!
Don’t know how bad it is today since it has been 30 years since my last time I flew.
I understand that consumers want lower prices, and the way to get lower prices is to provide minimum service, and fill the plane with as many bodies as possible.
I am surprised no airline has offered flight were you stood holding onto a strap like in a subway car. Could squeeze more people in then. /s
Proof that Wilber and Mr Ed can book a flight.
But,but, but... What about my seeing eye wolverine?

What an experience! Is every downwards trend irreversible? :(

My 1st flight was in 1955-———the dinner plates were china,not plastic.

My first flight was in 1965...funny I took off in a plane five times but didn’t land in one once.
Jump School. Never was in a plane before I became a paratrooper. :)

(You must have loved “Band of Brothers”.)
.
My guess is that he didn’t win anything in Vegas and he’s still looking for a payday.
Not me - I wouldn't take my life in my hands then. Not no way - not no how. Fortunately I didn't need to and would have gladly walked if needed...lol
Just don’t seat me next to a liberal.
Get yo black butt to the back of the plane. Lol
“Band of Brothers”
Funny thing is, after I got home from Viet Nam I was no longer interested in War Movies.
Hard to believe American Airlines was discriminating against him. Not buying it.
I don’t think this was racism. So that argument is BULLCRAP.
I also detest (strong word, I know) the “service animal” idea. Blind, fine. But WAY TOO MANY people claim “emotional support”. Learn to freaking GROW UP.
Nobody minds my emotional support chicken.
“Trained service animals are a real thing”
OH man are they!
I know a women who went deaf as a child and now going blind from a genetic disorder, Usher’s syndrome. Her service dog is amazing!!Just stares at her the whole time she with him, but the moment she takes his harness off, he turns into a normal 2y.o. pup! It’s absolutely amazing!
I knew a millennial that had a “support” animal. She mailed
some bucks to some agency and got a special vest. It’s a scam.
