• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Another bone head move by United Airlines...

Silly boys....................... :lecturef_smilie:



Charlie Brown's Teacher is Mrs. Donovan
Linus's Teacher is Miss Othmar.
But we would never really know, because in California there are now 72 genders ......... :roflblack:​
 
Several things come to mind regarding the French Bulldog who died in an overhead bin:

The flight attendant deserves to be fired. She knew clearly that a live animal was in the crate (multiple passengers have said they heard the owner telling her this) and still she argued. She is either incompetent or just fooking dumb and does not deserve to be a "safety" person on an airline.

The owner should have asked to see the captain as soon as the flight attendant began arguing. The captain knows his aircraft and would instantly have known that it is not a good place for any living animal. (My ex-wife used to fly for Eastern in the old days and the JFK to Puerto Rico flight was notorious for passengers putting their tiny babies in the overhead.)

If the captain didn't give her a solution she should have deplaned and notified airport security and the local admin for United.

BUT I CANNOT BELIEVE a plane filled with Americans would allow this to happen. WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY??!?!?!?!?!?! Multiple passengers have said they witnessed the verbal exchange and heard the dog barking during the flight. AND NOBODY TOOK ONE MINUTE TO POP OPEN THE BIN AND CHECK ON THE DOG? I am so fookin pissed at those people I really don't want to be associated with any of them - ever. And calling them "Americans" is a crock!

You're correct! Almost. Miss Othmar was Charlie Brown's teacher in the Peanuts Movie but, yes, in the comic strip Miss Othmar
is Linus van Pelt's teacher. During the 60s, in the strip Charlie Brown used to sit behind Linus in class, so I think it's reasonable to assume that
he was occasionally taught by Miss Othmar.

http://peanuts.wikia.com/wiki/Miss_Othmar This is my reference. I collect the books and I have around 40 of them.

Tomorrow when you are teaching these young impressionable college students of yours, I want you to include in the lecture that they should never assume anything and women can have voices too. :roflblack:

The report I read said the passenger adamantly refused, which was heard by witnesses. In the end the flight attended won out. Is that true? I don't know. United will be changing their policy for pets in April. Each pet owner will now be given a bright colored tag to be displayed on the carrier. I guess we can arm chair this all we want. United is staying in touch with the family of the pet.

On a brighter note, a German Shepherd on Tuesday that had to fly on a different United flight than its owners was accidentally flown to Japan instead of Kansas, and will be united with its owners.

It was stupid to put the dog in the overhead bin IF the attendant knew (there seems to be some disagreement on this). However, I have to wonder about the owner's responsibility in this (1) in not elevating the matter to the captain, and (2) in not checking the dog at any time during the 3-1/2 hour flight? I mean, if it was my dog I'd be getting up and checking it every 5 minutes. And there is more info we don't know. If the dog was getting frantic, which I'd certainly understand, wouldn't anybody HEAR it whining, barking and scratching only a couple of feet away -- and investigate the situation? Even once in 3-1/2 hours??? Honestly, the way people are these days, I kind of wonder if the dog had already died before it ever got on the plane and these people are looking for a way to cash in. That could explain why nobody heard anything. Wouldn't be the first time something happened like this.

Other passengers could hear the dog owner telling the flight attendant it was a live dog. FA insisted it would be OK to transport dog in overhead.

Other passengers heard the dog barking during the trip for approximately 2 hours (trip was 3.5 hours long).
 
You know, this is a tragedy, but as a society, it's our own damn fault.
We are constantly looking for the cheapest this, or the least expensive that, and then we are constantly amazed at the poor quality of the merchandise or service that we buy.

You may want to take blame but don't put any on me. i would have said something so would my wife. threewheels i
think you should step forward, call the owner and apologize and perhaps offer to buy her a new pup.
 
It was reported that United Airlines has an animal mortality rate that is abysmally higher than the rest of the industry...

I agree with you; but, in this case it had nothing to do with the cheapest anything.
