Gosh...Wow... I am not surprised.... I fly those routes for United out of Chicago... I'm on a leave because it took the CDC six months to let United know that I had been a crew member on a Flight to China with a passenger with active TB.... I think our government has cut back so much... It's the FDA, and CDC that are the problem here. The regulations have even affected the rise in EColi accross the country.....

Forgot about how many dont like mice but mice CHEW wires they get caught up in moving parts they can shut down the engine and now what.

The Airlines should have EVERY plane grounded till its 100% certain not 1 mouse in a single plane

I was in the Minneapolis airport late last year and saw a mouse run under the table at the booth in which I was seated at one of the restaurants. I pointed this out to my waiter and we saw a hole at the back wall of the booth where the mouse found his/her refuge. Maybe mice are gaining entrance to aircraft through the food service carts? I know of at least one mouse in the Minneapolis airport that is fat and sassy and not afraid to take an airplane trip....even to China!!

on a return flight from san francisco to portland oregon. we landed. it was in july and really hot. we sat there for over an hour waiting to disembark. we ask what was wrong but no one knew. then an attendent came over and told us the boarding door was jamed and they could not let us out. 2 hours passed. we heard banging on the door and cutting sounds. after 2.5 hours the door came off the plane and freash hot air came in. we were all ready to pass out from the heat. as we left the plane no one said a word to any of us. the door was laying on the ground.

Wow! This just gives me the willies just thinking about it. I just took one of these flights several days ago: take it often, as we are now living abroad but fly back to U.S. via United direct to O'Hare. I feel lucky at the very least that nothing crawled out of my pillow while I snoozed and in all reality that we got back here safely. Please, people, get this under control. Inexcuseably gross... and dangerous!!!

I was in the Minneapolis airport late last year and saw a mouse run under the seat of the booth in which I was seated at a restaurant. I called the waiter and we both saw the hole at the back of the booth (floor level) where the mouse found his (or her) refuge. Maybe mice are gaining entrance to aircraft through the service containers that are used for the free water and coke and honey-roasted peanuts that are given as "lunch" on today's flights. I know of at least one fat and sassy mouse that is not afraid to take a flight....even to China!!

My goodness! Didn't you know? Those mice were placed in the airline pillows for a purpose: They eat the cooties!

When I fly I never use the blankets or the pillows. I do not want to use what someone else has used.

Bet they had a head full of mice. Mice enroute to China. I have heard that Chinese raise rats like Americans raise chicken. KFC or KFM. Mouse,rat comes with their own handle to hold while eating. Its called a tail.
