- jfengel 6y agoI don't really care how many people "milked the system". It's no skin off my nose that they got away with something. The better question, I believe, is how often flights were disrupted by poorly trained animals. It certainly happened; how much? Then we can at least attempt to compare the benefits against the actual costs. The impression I get is that a lot of people don't care about the costs. They simply care that there was a rule in place that people circumvented, and they resent that a lot.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoAirline companies care about the costs. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm also not comfortable being that close to an animal from random people, especially ones that have proven they can be dangerous. If I was encountering a service animal every once in a while from a disabled person, it might be okay. But it feels like everyone other person has one, and I have no idea what the owner or trainer is like and that raises the risk profile quite a bit. There's a very high likelihood that the same people that ignore leash laws are on flights with an animal in close quarters to me.
