As a commuter, I can attest to that as well, especially on the 737. My computer bag will fit but no place to put your feet, so it goes in the overhead bin. The A320 doesn't seem to be as bad. Hell even the E170/175s have more room!

OK. All these people are liars. The poor FA is being framed.

The most damning thing in this is everyone around the passenger heard her well enough to know a dog was in the bag, and the FA didn't even bother to ASK and find out what was in the bag. Whenever you have a passenger that is hesitant to give you a bag, you always ASK why they don't want to give you the bag. Could be they are just being difficult. Could be (and often is) that they may have a good reason. Had it happen plenty of times. The best example was a lady who was very upset when I tried to take a bag and put it in the bin. When I ASKED WHY she told me it was her dead father's ashes and she was coming home from a funeral, so I moved things around and worked with the two people sitting next to her to work things out so the bag could stay at her feet. Its called customer service and taking care of your passengers.

What is truly comical in all this, is all of you UA guys would be crucifying this FA if it was on a Republic flight instead of mainline United. Not calling every witness a liar, saying you can't see through mesh bags, or calling it "fake news".

This FA screwed up plain and simple and there is no excuse in the world for not knowing that dog was in the bag. Fortunately United management is smart enough to figure that out.

LOL nope was always smart enough to avoid dating FAs. Stay with the medical field. Steady paycheck and no drama.

What we know to be true
1. 100% It was a United Flight

2. 99.9 percent true a dog name Coquito is dead

3. One of your facts is actually just a statement "According to the facebook page They (plural flight attendants) " They INSISTED that the puppy be locked up for three hours without any kind of airflow."

This was posted by someone who had their very first flight on United. Now we have a conspiracy not one flight attendant but multiple and they insisted the dog have no air flow.

4. I dont know if the pax are liars
5 I dont know if the pax are mistaken
6 I dont know if the pax are telling the truth

The WOOFF Bill by Senator Kennedy appears to be discriminatory, the name of the bill "WOOF' implies dogs, what about cats? It implies fury animals, what about snakes? It is not a bill of inclusion.

The name of the Bill needs to be COQUITO!!

Use your brains. No way a FA made someone stick a dog in the overhead. She didnt know there was a dog in the bag. Common sense you guys, use it

The NRA put out a response to this today. They said the only way to prevent this from happening again is more overhead bins.
