Ladies, Gentlemen & Dog this is your Capt
Anyone else noticed that the UK Govt has given permission for partially sighted pax to take their guide (seeing eye) dogs with them in the cabin?
Virgin and BA appear to be willing to trial this new procedure. The dog has to have a pet passport, innocultion cert and entry papers to the destination country.
Questions about wether the a/c commander has to be informed, cabin crew training, animal welfare and most importantly evacuation procedures were not spelt out in the news I saw.
In practical terms where is it to sit? What about the delicate subject of toilets. 13 hours LHR - LAX is long enough for humans to sit with their legs crossed! And what about other pax with pet hair allergies?
The only perhaps flippant benefit is it might potentially bite any hijackers where it hurts most!
Sit!
Stay!
Discuss!
