Cardio,
The turkey story isn't even news for most major airline pilots. A good many of us have seen far worse. Probably news for the new guys or those that have little operational experience. A comfort goose, pig and my favorite, a Pitbull are some of my favorite past highlights.
You state you are a Commercial Pilot? Just the rating or actual real experience in 135/121, large aircraft 91 or Military Ops?
Thanks

From: Going to hell in a bucket, but enjoying the ride .
In spending a lot time in so many different cities around the U.S., it is apparent there is no one state or city that really has a corner on the market of incapable, arrogant, rude, and clueless drivers. They seem to be spread equally across the board.
Parity has been achieved.

They said, "Nope, no mistake, you were in one of the best areas, but no you are now living in one of the WORST cities for accidents, uninsured drivers AND auto theft, so just send us the $900 and you're good..."

Then on almost every drive to/from work in MIA, I'd witness an auto accident caused by bad drivers changing lanes without signaling, cutting people off, hitting the brakes for no reason, usually in the passing lane, trying to go far left lane across 4 lanes to make an exit, and pulling lots of other stupid moves. In the rain it only got worse! Good thing it never snows in MIA.
In my previous 10 years of driving to work in BOS, in rain, snow and 'Boston Drivers' (known to be very aggressive) I never once witnessed an accident. I used to tell people, "Yeah, they are aggressive, but they know how to drive!"

You are my first nomination, You've been watching a bit too much sensationalist media and have probably never spent more than a few seconds around a Pitbull. In a good home they are good dogs, very affectionate sweet animals. In my opinion, they would make an excellent therapy animal.
In my case, if I saw Cesar Romero walking through the terminal after training the dog from a pup, I wouldn't blink an eye.
What I saw was "LaQuesha", all blinged out, strutting her overweight arse through the terminal while blinding everyone with her 14K gold uppers along with the miniature Swarzenegger with a spiked studded collar.
Million to one odds of that dog snapping with that background.

You might want to talk to any auto insurance company, they have the numbers to show where the worst drivers are. I know that when I moved from New Hampshire to Miami, my auto insurance rates TRIPPLED. I called my insurance company, USAA, to complain, thinking there must have been a mistake, no way could the rates go up 300%!

Observations of drivers easily shows that the bad driving habits are universal and the same regardless of where said drivers ply their trade. I am just talking about driving habits. Not throwing in vehicle theft and uninsured drivers.
Statistics also show that bad drivers are not unique to any one area. Increased numbers of accidents are based more on the amount of vehicles in a given location than any unique driving capabilities or lack of.
