Turkeys on Airplanes
« on: January 14, 2016, 01:11:40 PM »
And  I don't mean stupid humans. I think Fly320s will love this one. Somebody got their pet turkey a seat on an airplane as their "comfort animal".

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

I am wondering if someone who requires the presence of an animal for emotional support is too unstable to fly in the first place.

Yeah, I saw that.  Pisses me off, but we can't do anything to those special snowflakes thanks to the Americans with *cough*Disabilities*cough* Act.  Most people just use the "comfort animal" as a means to get their pet to fly for free.

I think the same thing.  We kick off passengers for being drunk or high or too sick to fly.  We should be allowed to kick off the idiots, too.

Did you know that a sick person who vomits is not allowed to fly for two hours after vomiting?

Apparently it's ridiculously easy to get a doctor to write a prescription, or whatever you would call it. "Flying makes me nervous". "Okay, here's a note to take your badger on the plane with you."

's funny.They spend millions of dollars on airline "security," and they strip-search passengers, and ban everything from handguns to bottles of shampoo, due to the risk of terrorism. It must be a real, serious danger, for them to go to all that trouble, right? Yet, "I don't feel comfortable flying without my .45" would not be taken seriously.

But turkeys and weasels and dogs, who would be of no use in actually mitigating a threat - oh, yeah, no problem.

You'll lose that battle.  They are, literally, a protected class.  I have removed people who are allergic to the service animal.

Oh, I'm not fighting it.  I just want to watch it unfold.

Personally the best I could hope for is to get like a 200lb Caucasian Mountain Dog as my "support dog" and drag him around everywhere.  That'd be fun on an MD-80.



ETA:  I wonder.....Medical condition is a medical condition.  Special Snowflake w/ allergies could reasonably get it declared a disability.  Especially if it includes anaphalactic reactions.  If it's two competing disabilities is there like an ADA matrix or something?

Yes.  I am the matrix and I call our CRO and let him handle the problem while I stay in the cockpit reading APS.

the ADA and the air carrier access act have made it kind of absurd.

Service animals can really help some people.

But the complete reckless faggotry that the abuse of those two laws have had. My god.




My dog's too damn stupid to be a service dog, we're discovering. His training is on an indefinite hiatus

Go big or go home; service elephant.

Or maybe some geneticist somewhere can make you an elephadger.

Saw a service dog last weekend. Had the red harness. It was being pushed through the store in a baby stroller.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.

I've seen mini-horses and mini-pigs, why not a mini-elephant. A mini-phant.

I'm still trying to convince my company that I need a comfort animal when I fly.  Like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=hot+women&biw=1680&bih=973&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjmg42Ho6rKAhWKOj4KHedSDK0Q_AUIBigB

I think I see the plot to Snakes On A Plane II. 

Why not an emotional support cobra?

Or an emotional support anaconda (made by Colt).

Think this could be one of ours, thinking "how insane do I have to push this before they're forced to rewrite the rules with some common sense?"

An ocelot seems like a good emotional support animal.  I would certainly be comforted if anyone trying to mug me got an angry ocelot clamped onto their face.

The ones that make me want to strangle are the "service" dogs who are worse behaved than most of the regular dogs I handle on a regular basis.

When I was waiting for my aunt to pick me up at the airport, some woman arrived to fly out. The "service" dog was a 10 lb or so puppy mill wonder bicon with a crappy haircut. It was not leash trained, tangled up the woman and her friend constantly as they tried to get the luggage unloaded, yanked on the leash and just generally acted like a 'tard. 
I'm sorry but if you have a service dog, even an emotional support service dog, it damn well better have at least the basic obedience skills.

keep in mind that a great number of "service dogs" aren't actually service dogs. since the ACA says that nobody can ask for proof, people just strap a vest on so that they can take FiFi to the restaurant/store with them

There was a big deal made in florida about making it illegal to identify a dog as a service dog when they weren't... but since there's no legal way for anyone to check....
