I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND USAIR VERY COOPERATIVE WHEN TRAVELING WITH A SERVICE DOG.. TO HAVE A 150 POUND GREAT DANE MOBILITY DOG ARRIVE AT THE CHECK IN ALWAYS CAUSES A FLUTTER..THE GATE ATTENDANT ALWAYS REASSURES ME IT IS NOT A PROBLEM ( THEN SHE GETS ON HER INTERCOM AND I AM SURE CALLS THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND SAYS "WAIT TIL YOU SEE WHAT YOU HAVE COMING AT YOU" )
THE PART OF THIS ENTIRE DISCUSSION THAT IS MISSING FROM THE STORY OF THE "BLIND GUY GETS THROWN OFF A PLANE" IS IF YOUR SERVICE DOG IS NOT PERFECTLY BEHAVED YOU CAN BE THROWN OUT OF ANYWHERE...
THEN THERE IS A SECOND LAW OF THE AIRWAYS.... IF A PASSENGER IS CONFRONTATIONAL, THEY CAN BE PUSHED OUT THE DOOR TOO. WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE A DOG WITH THEM. SO THERE ARE PARTS MISSING FROM THE STORY.
THE SERVICE DOG INDUSTRY IS ENTIRELY TOO LAX AT LETTING THE GENERAL PUBLIC KNOW... PUBLIC ACCESS IS NOT A FREE RIDE. YOU MUST BEHAVE - AND SO MUST YOUR DOG. I TRY AND MAKE THAT CLEAR TO ANYONE GETTING ONE OF OUR DOGS- THAT ADA LAW HAS A SECOND PART WHICH DOES NOT GET ENOUGH PRESS...
SINCE USAIR ---IN THEIR PUPPIES IN FLIGHT PROGRAM---- WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFE ( AND FREE) DELIVERY OF SCARLOTT AND WALTER FROM DENMARK TO BOSTON WE NEED TO HELP THEM.-- PLEASE POST POSITIVE THINGS FOR THEM - THEY AREE BEING MURDERED IN THE PRESS... AND I FOR ONE, HAVE HAD ONLY THE BEST SERVICE FROM USAIR WHEN TRAVELING WITH A SERVICE DOG.
TIME TO SHOW OUR PINK ENVELOPE STYLE CAMPAIGN TACTICS
HERE IS WHAT THEIR LETTER ASKS ME TO DO...
Please post your positive experiences with US Airways and Puppies in Flight Program on our Facebook page at facebook.com/USAirways and on Twitter via @USAirways. Your help in showcasing our Puppies In Flight program and dedicated team would be extremely helpful.
SO... MENTION SDP... AND HOW WE HAVE HAD ONLY THE BEST OF EXPERIENCES WITH USAIR-- UNLESS YOU ARE OF A DIFFERENT OPINION... THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT TO US.
I HAVE ASKED WILLIAM HUBER IF I COULD OFFER THEM THE SHOT OF SCARLOTT AND THE COFFEE POT( JANUARY PHOTO) FOR USE DOWN THE ROAD IF THEY SEE FIT.. (EVEN IF THEY WOULD HOLD THE CUP IN THE AISLE TO POUR....)

NOBODY TOLE ME IT WAS 8 KIDS IN WHEELCHAIRS-- NOT JUST WHEELCHAIRS BUT THE REALLY FANCY KIND WITH COMUPTER SCREENS FOR TALKING... THE ONLY PLACE WE COULD GET THEM OUT OF THE WEATHER WAS.... MY FRIEND... THE TEEPEE-- SO PAUL STARTED A FIRE IN THERE AND WE HAD A LOVELY TIME ANSWERING QUESTIONS -- WE HAD TO MOVE THE STUMPS WHICH WERE OUR USUAL SEATS- TO MAKE ROOM FOR THOSE CHAIRS. BUT THE FIRE WAS LOVELY AND WARM...
I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO TAKE IT DOWN FOR THE WINTER... I AM 76 - DO YOUR MATH - THAT CANVAS WOULD LAST FOR 15 YEARS IF WE TAKE IT DOWN IN THE WINTER...-- OR HALF THAT IF NOT... SO LETS HOPE THE FUN FUND JAR IS STILL OPERATIONAL 7 YEARS FROM NOW.,.... IF NEEDED.
