“Tragic Incident on Alaska Airlines: Dog’s Death

Raises Concerns Over Crew’s Handling of Sensitive

Situations”

10313 Song mi jin Then the day I went back to San Francisco on February
1st.

When I came back, I bought a first-class ticket, informed
them that I was accompanied by pets in the cabin before
the flight according to Alaska Airlines policy, and then
paid an additional fee of $100 per pet at the airport before
moving the dogs to the standard cage.

However, just before takeoff, the crew claimed that
they were asked to move to the economy seat for safety.
“Moving a dog just before takeoff is very dangerous for the
dog,” he said. “When people move it to a full seat, the dog
is very anxious and excited leads to extremely dangerous
heart problems.” However, the airline’s employees ignored
his explanation.

Finally, Mr. Contilo followed the crew’s words and
claimed that one of the dogs had very severe anxiety
symptoms. Later, when he arrived in San Francisco, he
said that the dog’s body was already completely rigid.

Contilo did not receive any action or contact from the
airline about the death of the dog until he filed a lawsuit,
and explained that the dead dog was like a child.

Meanwhile, the Alaska Airlines has not issued an official
position in this regard so far. When I first came across
the news article, I was shocked as a person who regards
dogs as a family member. Even as a student preparing for
the crew, I felt that the crew’s response was very wrong.
First of all, I thought that the crew should not do it was a
behavior that the crew should not check the status even
though they did not check the status even though they
explained that dogs were sensitive to the environment,
so they gave them that they were sensitive to the
environment. I thought it would be good to give a strong
punishment in that the fact that the crew did not checking
the status of the passenger even though they explained
that they were sensitive to the environment. I think
someone who raises a pator prepares a crew member will
know what’s wrong.
