Well I guess United is out now... That's shitty.

Although, I would never fly a dog if I can help it.. And I usually can.

In any case, you're reaching the time of year where it's unsafe (and restricted) to fly any dog, no matter the breed. In the warmer/summer months, there are restrictions that do not allow dogs in the cargo area. The cargo area isn't pressurized or air conditioned. If a plane were to sit on the tarmac for even an hour, it could do some irreparable damage to a dog, if it doesn't kill it first.

I believe it was Delta that had several dogs die a couple years ago due to their employees to ignoring this law/restriction.
