Default Army Vet Suing for Rejecting Service Dog

Every airline seems to be having this issue from time to time. Hope everything works out for both parties.

We need to get rid of "emotional support animals".

If you are so mentally ill that you have to bring your dog with you to avoid a panic attack, then you shouldn't be flying.

I understand service animals, but this has become too widespread.

The other day we had some lady with multiple "support animals". She was just too cheap to pay for their transport. Had nothing to do with "support".

A trained dog supporting a disabled person is fine, but we need to reduce the amount of animals on planes for cheap skates.

I bet there is more to the story. I see tons of service animals every day.

I wasn't there, so I don't know what the problem was-but I think this woman was turned down for good reason.

Too many people think they can just come in an airport and act crazy and threaten people. Service dog or not-that will get you kicked out.

Can crews qualify for emotional support dogs? That would be fun.

I used to be an emotional support dog, but then they eliminated the S/O position.
