Northwest Won't Allow Pig in Cabin

PAW PAW, Mich. (AP) -- Pigs can't fly, after all -- at least not in the passenger cabin.

Northwest Airlines is backing away from an earlier decision to grant a Vietnamese potbellied pig flying rights equal to those of small dogs and cats.

Northwest now says the pig named Pork Chop must ride with luggage and other animals in stowage below the passenger cabin -- even if she is a star.
