Caution is called for, there, Bill. I, too, have used Airborne Expre$$ for
shipping fish, before, but normally won't do it again. [For overnight Sat.
delivery, they may be the only game in town for some folks.]

On further investigation, I was assured that no Airborne planes had heated
cargo areas, and most weren't normally pressurized (a claim I tend to doubt).
Since all the fish survived, I don't know who was mistaken, but I got high
enough in the chain at Airborne to dissuade me from ever using them for fish,
again. YMMV.

Ah yes, the terrorists' plan to make us live just like them is starting to

a little safety would leave us with neither.]
