I remember when Delta's motto was "We love to fly...and it shows!"...but I don't think it ever applied to animal.
Heather Lombardiis was the owner of a hairless kitten that flew in the cargo hold of a flight from Connecticut from Utah last month. A door latch malfunctioned in 10-degree weather and it took nearly an hour to unload her cat. Snickers died shortly afterwards...
Initially, Delta Air Lines told her she would get $2,900 for the cat and $290 for airfare, plus reimbursement for vet bills and even a freezer where she was keeping Snickers until the ground thawed. But now Delta changed its offer to air fare plus 50 cents a pound, although there's a $50 minimum. A Delta spokesman describes the offer as a standard cargo reimbursement and said talks are ongoing.
It's kinda hard to back the airline when dead kittens are involved. And they're named Snickers.
