Passengers We Love: The Emotional Support Pig

It's been a while since the last Cabin Pressure but what better occasion than this? Let's cut through all the hack 'pigs flying' gags and celebrate the #bravehero that gets onto a flight with their own talisman, their own live security blanket, their own porcine rock.

This lady bought her own Emotional Support Pig onto a flight, and we can only weep at the circumstances that lead to the poor animal being 'disruptive', and them both having to deplane. Deplaning is always awful, not least because it is an abhorrent word.

Let's hope for a future where we can avoid distressing scenes like this. I propose finding an emotional support animal for the emotional support pig, just so that it can carry out its duties unfettered by stress and distraction.
