Can’t speak for other places, but here we take the best care of them we can. We get them off of the ramp ASAP as it’s super loud and probably very scary for them. At least here at we are very cautious of where we put the dogs in terms of the bins as to avoid “pulling a United”.

We send out HRs (Human Remains) pretty often. Kinda freaked me out at first, knowing we were moving a dead guy. Still kinda creepy. Also get “human specimens” I.e. organs for labs and hospitals.

We get 3 kinds of people. Those who put those straps around the bags, which don’t do too much in terms of protection. The second are the people who buy the protective sheathes or whatever you want to call them. They do an ok job of keeping stuff clean but are annoying cuz they usually block the straps, making them hard to pick up and move. The third are the nut jobs who wrap their bags in 10 freaking layers of Saran Wrap. Many people wrap the handles in too which is the worst, especially on heavy bags. Plus the wrap won’t slide an inch so they get banged around pretty good.

Most of us have dogs out here so we understand.

Kinda crazy/ cool. Got to help maintenance change a tire on a 757-200. A bolt sheered off and got stuck up in the brakes. Pilot let me keep it. Gunna take it to my ME class about stresses and such.
