I’ve shipped pets internationally using a professional service and never had a problem. Taking them with me is a hassle. You have to remove them from the carrier at security and carry them thru the metal detector.

Do pilots have to care about animals?

umm, okey dokey.

Thing about these pilots is that they have no entrepreneurial spirit. They function in a total institution called “airline” and are quite happy to be there. That should tell you something about their womb/tribe. They are very happy and fulfilled when they tell you where to go, when, what to do there.

The pilot’s unions are keeping the airlines safe. If it were up to the airline management the pilots would be flying well past their limit set by the FAA. Fatigue is a big problem right now and the crews are calling in fatigued because they are being told to fly beyond what is safe and legal. That exacerbates the “pilot shortage.”
The liability is upon the pilot to be rested while the airline management just wants them to keep flying.

It’s the same with the rest of the unions. Management keeps low balling the wages and increasing work hours. They can’t keep people on the property as it is any MR. BP’s solution would result in a collapse of the whole transportation system.

Another part of his myopic view is that everybody wants the cheapest air fare possible so managements still make their profits but cut labor costs to the bone.

This summer if you want to make sure you get there at the appointed time….. DRIVE.

The days of any business being run to satisfy customers, provide good and worthwhile employment for their staff and also return a reasonable profit are long gone. The only thing important now is the profit, and in all the rest they are only going through the motions, pretending to do their jobs.
