Yea for Southwest! THANK YOU!!
I've been fly with cats for the past 20 years and have not been able to give very much of my considerable flight business to Southwest specifically because of their past no-pet policy. I fly between 50-80,000 miles a year on United and Alaska and am either flying for business OR for my hobby - cat shows. Rest assured, if I travel with my cat on Southwest, it will have been freshly bathed, will stay INSIDE its carrier the entire time, will most likely not utter so much as a meow and seatmates will not even notice that my carry-on is a Shepa bag with a kitty inside. I respect passengers with allergies; I have a slight allergy to cats too.
I can also assure you that I will be much more considerate, quiet and unremarkable with my kitty than most young children passenger who kick my seat constantly (and their parents do NOTHING to stop them). 🙂 I won't be like the business traveller who is overflowing his seat and elbowing me, determined to type on their laptop the entire flight. Grrr.
Please give us a chance to show you that having pets on Southwest will be good for business and will help keep Southwest's fares low. Purrs to you all.
