I have a friend who went to the airport to pick up a bird that had been
shipped to her during a "normal" weather time of year, and the bird was
DOA. Can't pretend to know what happened to it, since the person never
had a necropcy done, but do know that it was healthy adn very much
alive at the airport.

I've also known someone who was having a puppy shipped to them and the
airline lost it somehow, it ended up at another destination. Mind you,
these were not recent, and security for live animals may be better now,
but the taste is already in my mouth, damage is done, no going back...

I would never trust putting any animal on a plane unless I was with
them, and they were under my seat or on my lap.
