Betcha that if it happened in coach they would’ve kept going.
With a PA message that there is a free meal in the aisle for whoever wants it
Chicken or fish? Or poop?
boeing
wtf i love this dog now
Fuckin Boeing at it again.
Probably not. With the build quality of Boeing planes, the floor would probably have collapsed under the weight of the turd 😉
If it had pooped in the coach aisle, they would have just stayed in the air.
If it happened in coach they would have turned the heat up so people could smell it better.
Oh ffs another Boeing headline—-
Oh, ok, oh that’s good. Good dog
Sounds like someone’s poorly trained “service animal” that they brought on the plane without being crated. I think we’ve let loopholes like this exist long enough. Have a legitimate service animal you want to bring somewhere normal animals would not be allowed? Be prepared to show documentation certifying them as such. Have an emotional support animal? Fuck off. That’s not a get out of consequences free pass.
Fun fact. Other mammals besides humans can have bathroom emergencies, too.
Those times you unexpectedly needed to diarrhea immediately and had a photo finish to a bathroom (or not)? Yeah, a dog in an airplane isn’t going to have the same luxury. Its bathroom is the floor
The same hopefully goes for all humans to certify they are potty trained?
Have an emotional support animal? Fuck off. That’s not a get out of consequences free pass.
Unless this varies wildly by country, it’s not. And the major reason for your downvotes would be that this is exactly how it works already. You need paperwork to be allowed a support animal on a plane.
Interestingly the only paperwork you need is a document from a vet that says the animal is healthy. If the flight is more than 8 hours then you also need a document from the vet that the animal can go the entire flight without reliving itself.
I don’t think that’s what people mean when they say “people should be required to provide documentation when bringing a service animal on a plane”.
However, in the specific case in question here, isn’t someone certifying that the animal can go without relieving itself the most relevant piece of documentation? 😂
There’s not really enough info in the article to say for sure, but I don’t think it takes over 8 hours to fly from Houston to Seattle, so that requirement probably didn’t apply.
This was in first class, it was almost certainly someone’s purse dog that they let out of the crate and not a service animal.
Don’t delegitimized service animals based on a whim or opinion.
