According to Yahoo News/Reuters US Airways is changing it's policies reguarding pets and minors to allign with America West's. Although I understand the one reguarding minors, as it reduces liability issues, makes sense. The one about the pets however, considering the profit to be made by it, has me a bit stumped. I can only imagine that it's due to the southwest region operations, were having a pets in an unairconditioned hold (ie: when the planes on the ground due to a delay, and they turn off the engines/APU) would be a terrible situation.
