    Nah. It's hot, but it's not that hot. The bypass air mixes with the jet exhaust and brings the temperature way down. Couple that with the pigeon being relatively light and thus easily yeeted, it'd probably feel no worse to him than entering a hot car in summer. That happens to be blasting air through it at 300 mph (referencing table 6-8, predicted exhaust velocity contours for the 737-100 and -200 models; the larger models actually have lower max velocities in their contours)

    So....it almost certainly blasted him into last week. But probably survivable for a pigeon as long as it didn't hit anything before it could figure out where to put its wings.
