I don't even know what to say - Really - Dog dies in overhead bin  .  I hope they pay through the teeth for this one.

I would've gotten arrested. Had someone insisted my dog be put in an overhead bin and then he died, I would've had to be restrained by a whole lot of people.

That's pretty F'd up.  I know it isn't much consolation to the dog owner, but it sounds like United is stepping up and admitting responsibility

FYP

If you comply, your pet dies. If  you don't comply, you get beaten and dragged off the plane. Damned if you do...

To think she had to go through all of that while taking care of her newborn as well as an older child.   Just horrible.

I really haven't watched them since they let Wayne Rooney go.

I put on the Sevilla match today, and lasted about twenty minutes.  Both teams looked pretty bad.  Oh well.

Why wasn't the pet in cargo?  Was this an emotional support pet or something?

I honestly dont know how anyone stupid enough to put a dog in the overhead functions in society.

Emotional support just entitles you to forego paying the $125.

So the whole staff. How can no level-headed FA step in and overrule the dummy? 

 

[Native]

They sure did.

United allows pets to be carried in the cabin their carriers, which store under the seat.  For some reason, the flight attendant didn't get the memo.

Agreed, something is way off here.  Im also inclined to believe the stewardess didn't realize there was a dog involved.  This lady should have put up the biggest fight of all time before putting her dog in the bin.

Sounds like idiots all around.  The stewardess just enforcing a rule and not listening most likely and then this idiot woman complies.

If either one of them was thinking straight, this wouldn't have happened.

 

[Jefferson the Caregiver]

People seem to think the Stewardess knew.  If true, for sure she should be fired immediately and on top of that publish her name and picture.

As for the owner, she's still not off the hook.  She should never own an animal again.

And now they few a dog to Japan by mistake...

Just heard this one the radio 18 out of 24 pets died flying were United.

I don't disagree, but let's hear more before going after the passenger. I PERSONALLY would not have listened and just gotten off the plane, tweeted up a storm, called the news, etc...

Witnesses said they heard the passenger tell her there was a dog in there. I'd like to hear if the flight attendant ever threatened to remove her from the flight? Unfortunately, flight attendants are given unlimited power, so that ##### could've been threatening to remove her, and her two kids, if she didn't listen. 

United has serious issues with their in-flight team. They seem to care more about re-arranging their seats to increase profits rather than fixing their in-flght experience.

Murica!
