Fragile is French for "throw harder".

At Sacramento International where I worked, American Airlines would actually listen to the bags hitting the belt and completely come unglued on you if they thought you were literally throwing the bags.

What options does a family have if they have a mentally and physically disabled teenager with mental illnesses who is verbally and mentally abusive and is physically abusive when given the chance?

Also, make sure that whatever your transporting your pet in is safe and secure.

Once we had a gerbil go on an MD80. on that particular aircraft the center bins are the pressurized ones, so that's where pets go. It was also the longest bin and several 7' long tool crates weighing over 100# had to go in there. We couldn't load the gerbil and ensure its safety but couldn't refuse so we did our best. One drastic shift and that gerbil would be flattened.

We also had to chase escaped dogs.

No, weight and balance of the luggage and timing can help, but size, shape and weight also come in. If your bag weighs 80#, it's going on the bottom if we can help it.
