All of a sudden, driving 3000 kilometres sounds a lot better than flying.

How do airlines manage to fuck up this consistently? You would think at least one of them would be able to get it right.

The dog didn’t die this time at least. So...progress? I guess?

Careful, don’t speak too soon.

She said Irgo is set to be flown from Naruto, Japan, to Denver on Wednesday night, flying first class with a human escort in the main cabin of the plane .

I’ll wait and see if United charge the family for the flights and the human escort back.

You’ve got to appreciate the irony of an airline called United, separating the family from their beloved pet.

Animals die, get lost or misrouted twice as often on United as on any other airline. Yes, they are that incompetent.

Well, they could be, thanks to limitations on foreign ownership and foreign carriers on domestic routes, and the massive consolidation over the past 15 years or so, there just isn’t a whole lot of competition left, and without lots of hungry, cutthroat competitors, there just isn’t a whole lot of incentive left to be competent.

Remember the SNL AT&T commercial parody from the ‘70s? “We don’t care, and we don’t have to. We’re the phone company”. Except AT&T actually provided good service quality back then, somehow. Not as cheap as we’ve become used to since, but, still, they at least did their job.
