They tell me nope, you can only bring an onboard pet IF I work for American or any of their lovely wholly-owned regionals (I work for a non-wholly owned American Eagle airline). I ask if I can just pay them pet fee, they say sure, but you also need a full fare ticket. Interesting. And yes, this info is coming from the AA helpdesk. The local AA agents did their best to sort this out.

Can any of you DL/UA/WN/B6 give me an idea of how this is handled at your airline? Can I buy a ZED in any of these airlines and do so? Or can I Jumpset with a pet carrier and they will allow it? (assuming the max # of cabin pets, etc. is observed AND I get explicit permission from the operating CA to do so)

And before you ask: NO, I do NOT plan on sitting in the physical cockpit jumpseat with a Cat. YES, that cat is healthy and has its paperwork in order, it's just the Vet recommended for it to not travel as cargo.

Guidance appreciated!
