$ 1700 and in a nightmare have been sick since we got home i just cant win crown
ps jack uncle ned & others have fun at rally crown

You mention it was a supervisor that did it, but are there no higher managers you can contact about it?  It seems that a strong argument could be made for your point about scale accuracy.  And even if the scales are certified accurate to the ounce, then still it would seem that a higher level manager would have some room to make an exception.  Unless it is actually a govt. regulation that limits the weight.

I have been following this thread and I am feel sorry for you and your family...

Me too, I sent you a PM

[John316]

John, I CANNOT believe it!!!

I know the feeling, but I am so sorry. Why not try again? Third time is a charm. Pull yourself together, and switch stuff around, and TRY AGAIN!

Come on, pal, you can do it! Just try again. It looks like you had a good RV. Do it again!

God bless,

John

Sometimes when it rains, it pours. I am truly sorry for all the bad luck you have had lately.

 thanks all its good to have a family hear but when they would not let us fly i also missed my flight from miami atlanta atlanta charotte
it was a 2 hour flight from heer but miami is 2 hours ahead it was two late to call deltas 800 # and tickets are non refundable i am
going to travel agent on monday to see what can be done. the superviser i think was full of bs told me if they got caught with the
dog they would shut down airline i will fight this as my dog has been on taca air before my wife told me to go and have fun and she
would stay home with princesa but the 3 of us are family and its all of us or none of us thanks john / lidia & princessa

It has been 17 years since I last flew Taca.  Nice to see they haven't changed much.  I don't think I even flew Taca with checked baggage and received everything I had checked when I reached my destination.  The last time I flew Taca, I finally got my luggage after several days of waiting and EVERYTHING of value in it was gone.  Their response was "prove what you had in your luggage" and we will think about paying for it... 

Of course, it was better that Tan-Sahsa.  We used to joke that they had a "frequent survivor program."

Taca needs to receive dozens of emails from all of us complaining about their terrible treatment of passengers.

That really sucks!!! I have also been following the trauma for you and your family, Im sorry. Sometimes though God has things in store for us that we just could not possibly know about or plan for. Maybe there is a reason for all this.

  Divine intervention is the only thing that comes to mind, John. I would work on getting refunds and wait for a better time. Its just not meant to happen now, I wouldnt push it.

  we allways fly lacsa / taca and its been # 1 to prove my point last trip with princessa we where waiting to bourd in miami when
  a girl came over and asked for the bourding passes i went with her to see what was wrong and she said i see you have
your dog and i am moving a few passagers so you can have the whole row of seats so you are more comferable untill last night
they have allways been great thanks john

[white-eagle]

is this one of those last minute "i know you really need to get on the plane, so just cross my palm with a little look aside money" deals.  i keep hearing stories about needing a little extra cash to avoid border guard body checks, confiscated luggage and so on, at least about mexico.

sorry this happened to you again, and i can't blame you for not wanting to come without lidia.  i wouldn't want to travel without Fran either. just not the same without both of you to share.

hopefully, we'll still see you in Florida.  Maybe you should actually look for a real bus.  i think i know 2 gmc's for sales, older, but working, under $10k, make offer.  no, i'm not selling them and don't really know if they are still for sale or not.  but i can check later for you if you are interested for later trip.
check tomorrow and see if you could fly tomorrow after the travel agent straightens it all out.  maybe all is not lost completely ;-)

 tom good to hear from you we wanted to come vist you & fran and on the look aside thing that may work in mexico but hear i would
of spent the night in jail i dont known if i told you this but before i got princessa i was in a deap depresion on meds $ spleeping pills
nothing worked someone maybe my doctor told me to get a small dog to make this short princessa saved my life and still does today
my wifes family has said what would happen to me if something were to happen to her i dont even want to think about that i found
online that if a doctor or psychiatrists writes a letter for me to have a emotional support animal or therapy dog then i can travel
with her these dogs do not need taining in fact tacas web page says then can be up to 90 lbs in cabin my old doctor moved away
but i am going to talk to another docter or any doctors / bus nuts ?? at this point not sure about fl. thanks tom / fran
