How is my pet handled?

Ok, get yer minds out of the gutter ;)Just found a neat little book in our local library:"Your Flight Questions Answered by a jetliner pilot" [sic].by John Cronin.Despite possibly the single worst illustration of a jet I've ever seen on the cover, the inside goes through some interesting stuff.Questions like,"My flight was cancelled due to poor visibility, but then the flight crew and airliner took off without me and the other passengers.Why?"and"What is that little red and white shack I see by the runway?"The questions/answers in the book are pretty general, and if you're really well-versed in commercial operations you can probably skip it, I dunno.Otherwise, cool.Andrew
