I have carnal (no !!!!) knowlede of flying pigs. WOA picked up a charter stopping in Caracas for KMIA and the scholars decided that they could maximize revinue by stacking the pigs on top of each other to take advantage of the volume of the aircraft.

The result was about a 50% loss of pig life, the temperature in the cockpit was high enough to where the crew had concidered diversion.

Flying pigs is not good business, loading them in the lower cargo pits may result in a overheat condition depending on equiptment further resulting in a diversion.

Bottom Line....


PIGS DON'T FLY
