Jet * - pets in the overhead lockers?
This looks pretty strange to me . . . from the ABC web site.
Senator questions pets on flights plan
A Tasmanian Liberal Senator is seeking an explanation from Qantas subsidiary Jetstar on its plans to allow pets in overhead lockers.
Senator Guy Barnett says the low-cost airline has advised him pets cannot be carried in the aircraft hold but can be placed in the overhead lockers.
It is one of the concerns being aired at a public meeting with the carrier in Launceston today.
Tasmanian business leaders are also calling for an additional flight to Melbourne.
Senator Barnett says there are many risks associated with having pets in overhead lockers.
"It raises a whole range of issues in terms of safety and health issues in terms of dogs being up there with cats, mice, rats and birds," he said.
"You put your hand up into the overhead locker, you might have it bitten off by a great dane or something, there's all sorts of issues it raises."
