I Will Never Fly Southwest Ever Again. Ever.
Southwest Airlines, in an attempt to pull ahead in the 'Worst Airline Ever' race, has decided on a new money-making strategy.
For only $75, yes, $75 U.S. dollars, you can put my life at risk AND be a total douchebag by carrying your pet into the cabin of the airplane for the flight!
Forget about, you know, people with allergies, or who are afraid of animals! In the name of money, glorious money, let's have animals ride in the cabin of the airplane!
(Southwest's tradition of excellence)
Look, here's the thing. Don't waste your time with the stupid 'Ooh, airplane filtration means you won't have to breathe it in' argument. If I can still smell the overly strong perfume of the lady three rows up, there's still going to be pet dander in my face. Being around a single animal for thirty minutes will make me not be able to breathe out my nose. Being around two pets for the same amount of time will make my eyes swell up. Three, and I'll have breathing problems, period.
So how many pets will Southwest allow on the flight at once? Oh, good, only FIVE. Well, that's some consolation, knowing that there's only two more dogs necessary than could hospitalize me.
You know, let's even ignore that. Did NOBODY see 'Snakes On A Plane'? I for one can't wait for an anxious, frightened animal to get out of its cage and maul somebody at 30,000 feet. Oh, I know, let's sedate the animals instead! Nothing shows your love and respect for your pet like pumping them full of unnecessary drugs so you can be that douchebag who took their chihuahua to Disneyland with them.
Southwest sucks. I mean, I hate Southwest anyway, but this is just allergenic icing on an uncomfortable cake. I will never fly Southwest again due to their obvious disregard people. People like their customers.
And if you want to bring your pets onto the plane, and think that I'm being overly sensitive -- I'm going to sit next to you on the flight and rub sandpaper in your eyes. Quit being a baby, it's not that bad! It's not harming anybody else!
[Edit: Richard says other airlines do this now too... Oh dear, I am doing to die.
