Hey, great meeting you too! Too bad it was a wild fish chase! Cheers!

I am just reading this now and I'm not a happy camper.

YES, I looked into ALL requirements, had ALL the paperwork, went down 3 hours early for a domestic flight and was bounced around 5 different times from security to oversized cargo to UPS to Air Canada again only to have security change their minds.....and to miss my flight to boot.

And then to be accused of being neglectful and dishonest?!? Nice end to a really sh!tty day. Why the hell would I go and list a $70 tang for free if I had the ability to take it myself? Maybe give a fellow Canreefer the benefit of the doubt before accusing them when they are trying to offer something for free. Not really encouraging of goodwill.

so what hapend to the poor thing ?

hat off to the people who went and looked

[Nuttyreefer]

He did say for free

[Hwyman]

Ok, seems to be that tensions are hot....Baker and I did go down, Air Canada are a bunch of disorganized people.....I am SURELY NOT accusing SanguinesDream of any neglect, or any expressing any disrespect at all. I was close to the airport, have plenty of room for more fish, and, heck, he DID SAY FREE!!! We all have been at the mercy of the screening people at airports and, yes, it was "free". For all that is sane and normal, give your collective heads a shake....we all care for our fish and do not intentionally cause then harm! He could have easily went on his way without posting, and nobody would have given a damn.......at least he was trying to be responsible.
Thanks for the effort, I just want to know if the fish survived the journey?
Regards,
Hwyman

Yeah, obviously I did! Have you ever tried showing the legislation to a group of security officers, their supervisors and have them call in to their supervisor because they still don't understand?

At what point do you continue to plead your case while missing your flight or decide to save the fish instead and open yourself up to the judgEment of the board members?!?

But hey, you were all there and saw everything with your own eyes and know everything about the legislations of the two countries in order to judge, right???? Well hell, the next time I consider making any aquaria purchase I will be sure to post on this board for y'all's approval or will that be the wrong decision as well?

Ended in a fail.
