1) The Temperature Rules apply to a Live Animal for every second that animal is
in the care & custody of, and is the responsibility of, American Airlines.
They take that responsibility Seriously and do NOT "bend" their own rules.

2) We HAVE checked - there are NO direct or non-stop flights between Wichita Falls, TX
and either Harrisburg OR Philadelphia, PA.

3) The small commuter jet flying out of Wichita Falls does NOT fly on to
either Harrisburg noe Philadelphia - passengers and cargo & Animals must
exit the little Wichita Falls plane at Dallas / Ft Worth and board a lil bigger jet
to get to Harrisburg or Philadelphia.
