United Airlines Mistakenly Flies Kansas-Bound German Shepherd To Japan
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (CBS News) – United Airlines says it’s investigating after mistakenly flying a Kansas family’s dog to Japan. CBS affiliate KCTV reports that Kara Swindle and her two children flew from Oregon to Kansas City, Missouri, Tuesday on a United flight. They went to a cargo facility to pick up 10-year-old Irgo, a German shepherd, but were instead given a Great Dane.

Well at least the dog didn’t go on a wok. :)
LOL... Yeah.. They love to "WOX your DOG!"
Right, because JAPAN has a reputation for that...
What about luggage tags?

I think people-people respect has to do with harsh environment and physical "personal" space. it is much more difficult to be cordial when angered.
Humans are put in an agitated state by flying - too many animals in a pen - fighting for scarce resources. False expectation and entitlement lead to overt competition.
Also, the USA experience creates a culture of FEAR. (TSA & now NFL security)
- security process agitates through search and seizure shake-down
- terminals blast music and outdated threat announcements (liquids really? still?)
- poor choices for food (fat and sugar reign super-sized)
- fighting for place (false promise of "status" & expectations of getting it)
- fighting for luggage and personal space onboard
- physical crowding and crew blathers on about not standing or "loitering" especially near the front
- fear of missing connecting flights
Maybe it's time to lighten up on the siege mentality that pervades flying. We no longer hear the threat level is "orange". Perhaps we need to keep shoes on, give up the liquids fantasy, and body scans that can't seem to sort out the lint in my pants pocket.
Thank god we didn't take the underwear guy seriously. Imagine everyone's undies in a zip lock baggie?
