Surprised? I do not think so!! I am in the tropical fish business also and after 30 years, nothing the airlines do, or have done surprises me. They are without a doubt the most incompetent orginisation in business! Not to mention, with rare exception, do they accept any responsibility for their actions, maybe this time but who knows.....with these people it is ALWAYS somebody elses fault!! I do feel bad for the two parties involved with this mixup and hope it is made up to them. BTW, to the petshop owner....good luck with your claim!!!

I would have 21 yrs. with an Airline this month, however I came to Mississippi to assist in Hurricane Katrina recovery. I was left alone in the belly of a DC9 aircraft to lift a 350lb casket with a Human Remains. I pulled both my neck & back and have not worked since. They started paying me 2 years later when they said there really was an incident. I'm wondering if the casket had just arrived at his destination 2 years later that the could then prove the injury??? poor guy! Now, 3 years have gone by and I have been dropped from the company, lost everything I own and still have no medical treatment. ~Stuck in Mississippi~ thanks Northwest!
