It's also not Chris Law or Peter King's business to decide who is or isn't allowed to have a helper animal. One last thing is I love how Chris Law acts as though this woman, her dog, and by extension US Air committed some heinous crime against him personally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-20046302895541095432014-06-04T17:10:36.255-04:002014-06-04T17:10:36.255-04:00Eric, I like how he wrote he had "status.&quo...Eric, I like how he wrote he had "status."

He's basically Rich Eisen's figurative (maybe literal?) fluffer, yet he is a bigshot on the airline and is the final judge, jury, and executioner of handicapped people everywhere? Sorry you had to smell some poop Chris. Your world should be filled with roses because you are Rich Eisen's "helper." Sorry Ben, not meaning to hijack your post, but this is probably the worst one PK has posted considering it is second-hand travel crap, and the handicapped status of this woman was not substantiated because research is just too much work for people like Peter King.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03518535759517668376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-30646616620703989442014-06-04T15:23:33.600-04:002014-06-04T15:23:33.600-04:00Eric, he won't respond at all even if you can ...Eric, he won't respond at all even if you can get the email to go through.

The lady has no apparent need for the dog, so they just assume she has no need for the dog. It's this kind of crap that makes me hope that when Peter's health starts to fail, he ends up in a shitty nursing home allowed to wallow in his own shit for hours on end while others blame him for smelling so bad. He wasn't even on the plane, yet he relayed the story as if it was his travel story. I'm going to e-mail him about being an asshole. He won't respond, but it will make me feel better.

That...You would think I could make that connection. That could very well be possible. Peter blames Freeman for Schiano getting (eventually) fired. <br /><br />Snarf, I'm pretty sure it was one of the "Die Hard" movies. The last scene would be him taking pictures with his daughter at graduation and her making a crack about him being late to graduation, followed by Bruce making a joke about how "my flight was a bit delayed." <br /><br />It is the objective in every game. Of course it also helps if your defense can stop other teams. <br /><br />In Peter's mailbag he stated that the gentleman relaying the story didn't know what the disability the woman may have would be and that's why he assumed she didn't have one. It's kind of weak. It's very possible she needed the dog and it just didn't look like she did. It's a terrible situation for all involved, but I think bringing in the implication she was gaming the system without actual knowledge she was gaming the system is a bit unfair. <br /><br />I have a co-worker who is in a wheelchair and has very limited use of her legs due to an accident. She has a handicapped spot, but if someone just happened to catch her on a plane she would potentially just look like she had a sprained ankle and didn't require the services her condition actually requires. <br /><br />Murray, this is sexist of me, but if it were a younger guy then I would wonder if it wasn't maybe a PTSD dog. Of course it was a poodle and it was an older lady, but it was my initial thought before I quickly dismissed it. I think bringing in the implication that she is faking an injury or condition is a bit low. Anyone who has had a baby on a plane would know that having a dog on a plane would seem like a huge pain in the ass. I don't know why someone would intentionally bring a dog on a plane if they didn't have to.

There are hearing service dogs trained to be the "ears" of the owner, and no one can tell if a person is deaf or hard of hearing just by looking at them (I know since I'm one of them :) I feel bad for the woman.
