- American Airlines: Caring for puppies on life’s journey
Huge shoutout to @AmericanAir and their amazing Captain who went above and beyond during the holiday rush! After a plane was diverted due to weather and stuck on the tarmac for four hours, the Captain took a little dog off the plane to pee. My colleague who was stuck on that… pic.twitter.com/Ae01GAtUIZ

Thanks @AmericanAir and the flight crews from 1710 las to phl and 3294 phl to las for going above and beyond to accommodate Hoagie, my large Dogue de Bordeaux service dog. I will never fly another airline ever again after receiving the wonderful service. Can’t thank you enough! pic.twitter.com/ntQSm1CAmI

- Please, Brady, may I have some more?
@AmericanAir fed us a REPUGNANT lunch after a 4 hour delay. The lettuce felt 3 weeks old & barely any chicken. Delta is the worst airline but at least they feed you a hot, tasty lunch AND another snack on an 8 hour flight. pic.twitter.com/l0fxdd1WWr

- Flight passenger calls out fellow flyers for bad habit, shares fix for problem: ‘Trash talk’ about flyers’ bad habit sets social media aflame

- Cool.
A picture that can never be taken again
byu/frogpineapplechicken inaviation - They use ‘food’ loosely. The food truck deserved it.
Thursday afternoon a United flight was marshaled into the gate at Miami International Airport without a wing walker, resulting in the plane’s wing tip colliding and tipping over a food truck.
That dog in the second tweet, is not a “service dog”. It shouldn’t be sitting outside of carrier either
As a dog lover I thank the AA pilot for looking out for the doggie.
I would be afraid of getting sick with that AA meal.
Surely, there are some authoritarians here who have zero empathy and would have preferred the dog be euthanized, right?
I am not one of those people. I like dogs. I think what the pilot here did was good and decent, even if the rule book would have denied it. Kind of like how we all go a few miles over the speed limit at times, and we are not summarily executed by the nearest officer (unless we are driving while black).
Anyway, what I mean to say is that nearly any time Gary posts anything about dogs on planes, there are the usual culprits who dish out their hate for animals, and really anything they deem lesser than themselves. I await your hate mail, haters.
Who cares about the damn dog! How about the passengers who are cramped up like sardines?
@Carlos Miranda. One knows that flying involves weather risks, particularly in winter. While I would prefer pets to be only flown in the cargo hold, I assume this little fellow was being properly transported and at an additional cost. The human pax were, I assume, free to use the lavs. The pup couldn’t and the fine gesture by the captain is to be praised.
