It's amazing that the airline industry will value dogs over people. People with pet dander allergies and asthma should not be subject to such discomfort during flights. For those who feel popping a pill that damages your liver, dehydrates you, excites, or sedates etc., is not a solution to this issue. Telling someone to take medication that otherwise would not be necessary to take to fly is an infringement. People who feel otherwise, have no compassion for their fellow human and side more with animal rights vs. human rights. Not all people can avoid allergy and asthma systems by popping pills and using steroid inhalers that also damage our bodies in other ways. Medications do not always relieve all symptoms, and it's extremely painful to a passenger who has a slight bit of congestion due to the cabin pressure it feels like their brain is going to explode. When landing, allergy sufferers under go severe head pain when nasals and ears are congested. It's ridiculous to wave the rights of humans and give it to the dogs/cats etc.
It's not like pets can't fly, people have placed them in pet carriers for decades and they would be placed outside of passenger cabin. Airlines should reverse the pet regulations to ensure pets continue to travel outside of the passenger cabin. It would make flights more practical for their human passengers. Additionally, the airlines are reducing profits or putting kennels and pet sitters out of work and disregarding public health for their own gain.
