Fat chance. I always sit in the escape row. To get these seats, one must be fit and be able to pop the hatch (and I've been qualified by the FAA as Escape Certified). No damned goose can do that. Any goose in the cabin has to be confined to a carrier or the rest room. Messy beasts. Likeable, I know, but no use at all in an emergency. Damned birds run around flapping their wings looking at the sky and honking while us Escape certificates are rescuing everyone.

Yeh, an them old gooses can fly where and when they want without a stop over in Atlanta or a wait in line. Mostly the Branta Canadensis Maximas here. Big brutes over 15 pounds. I had to slow down today to let a pair cross the road in flight. God they were pretty.
