``We can confirm that the pig traveled, and we can confirm that it will never happen again. Let me stress that. It will never happen again.''

As a non-rev pax, the pig would not have earned any miles. So why fly?

I'd like them to comment on the rumors that fresh bacon was served on Saturday morning flights from Seattle.... but that's just what I've heard

Did this "porked up" passinger have a meal on the plane?

If so, did he/she make a "pig" of themelves?

How did this 300 pound passinger fit into the seat? Did they have to "Hogtie" him down?

I was flying LAX-MCO earlier today, sitting in 1B. A passenger was telling this story to a couple of UA FA's. I'm convinced they didn't believe the story for a second.

He was like a pig in a poke.

"USAir, Swine dining in the air."

I bet the pig ordered a Kosher meal.

You could say that the pig went "Hog-wild" on the plane.

A newspaper here speculated it probably was a "seeing eye pig".

Not only are pigs flying first class, they're going by charter, too:

Nice to hear that USairways is pig friendly. I'll stop there, as the pigs behavior was comparable to, or better than, some passengers I've encountered.
