Description

This might sound crazy, or like a pet lover’s dream, but how would you like to fly next to 70 cats and dogs? In 2018, Southwest Airlines sent a plane of supplies to Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, and returned with a cabin full of rescued animals. In this episode, Southwest Chief Pilot David “Fig” Newton tells us the story of the furriest doggone flight in the airline’s history.
