[Doc E]

Air Canada just announced that they will cease shipping pets. Makes me wonder how many other airlines will follow suit.

Air lines have increased the price of shipping dogs.
You can only ship durring certain times of the year now. due to hot conditions. Or so i was told.

Air Canada is the northern version of no-nited. This doesn't surprise me at all. What's funny is they try to spin this as an improvement in customer service. They must have hired the former Iraqi Information Minister to run their PR department.

How hot is it,when your 35,000 - 60,000ft in the air...

Don't know, i never stuck my arm out the window.
I would assume that it's the temp in the cargo area that is the concern.

It has more to do with sitting on the tarmack. It can get pretty uncomfortable in the air conditioned cabin, let alone the bottom of the plane with no climate control.
