A conversation inspired by the large pet pig who was allowed to fly by US Airways.
Written by Miyuki Kondo
Flight Attendant : Excuse me, sir. Are you going to bring him to this aircraft?
Passenger : Of course. He is also a passenger. Do you have any problems?
F : Yes, sir. US Airways allows passengers to fly with only household pets.
P : Don't you think pigs are household pets?
F : No I don't.
P : I have him in my house and live with him. Why can't I do that?
F : We had a case like this before. Then a pig rampaged through the aircraft but we couldn't stop him. We are responsible for the safety and the comfortable flight of the passengers. Even though you regard a pig as a household pet , the passengers might not . Although you can't bring your pet to this aircraft, you can do as a checked baggage. Please understand us and refrain from taking him with you.
P : O.K. I'll take him as checked baggage.
