Jim, there would not be any people left in the cabin, unless the obese one got stuck on the chute down to the cargo compartment…

A big dog from the sound of it. You could clearly hear it in the cabin. That dog didn't shut up once for the entire five-plus hours. It was annoying, but I mostly felt sorry for the dog, who was clearly terrified.

They think he's a stuffed animal or something. A five pound Pomeranian..... Besides that, I wonder who gets access to the 'cargo lever'. The person in the seat behind, or an anonymous vote for the person in 19B. LOL the mind enjoys the possibilities. A free flight for whomever gets voted off the heated cabin and has to endure -30C steerage (cargo). Sasha, my fiance's dog, is so good people are startled when he moves his head.

Use it for stinky people, unruly kids, obese that can't fit into the seats, drunks, loud, obnoxious people, or for the too big luggage that people drag on board....or, anyone else that we generally do not want to travel with. :-) I love animals. But, I would never travel with mine on a plane...because I would not want to put her through that. And, I would definitely not want to disturb anyone else that may be allergic to dogs...or, in the off case that my dog not fly well. A chute to the cargo bin….perfect idea!

He really does have allergies, so it's not like he's being drugged up for no reason. Being 5 pounds, in a small confined space and stuck under a seat would make me feel claustrophobic too...but the real issue is training. A chute to the cargo cabin should suffice for poorly trained dogs, small children with inattentive parents, people who think they own their piece of the sky just because they came up with the $199 last minute fare.......
