"Title says it all"? No it doesn't. It leaves lots open to interpretation. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople/HealthAndSupport/Equipment/DG_10016340

If they're crated and quiet, sure, why not?

I've seen plenty at F checkin. And tons at LGW checkin. More on the staff side as opposed to the pax cabin side though. :p

If quiet and well behaved I don't see why not, perhaps there should be a certification program.

Depends on what type of dog. Service dog for the visually impaired or rescue dogs heading over to a disaster area, sure.

Compared to your average DYKWIA, the animals I've seen on planes are pretty well behaved.

Apart from the exceptions that you mentioned...
People=passengers
Animals=cargo
A genuine service dog for a blind person, fine. A fake "companion", not fine. No matter how cute and clever your little Rover might be, he is a dog - you might think he's a human, but he knows he's a dog. He's fooled you into believing that he thinks he's a human, and that says more about you than it does about him.

I don't see any reason why the rules for animals should be different in the different cabins.

Why airlines haven't come up with a better solution yet makes me wonder. Travelling animals are becoming ever popular so why not develop a special compartment. Include things like gate check & return (this is the biggest problem why people don't want their pets in the cargo area - to many forgotten and DEAD pets on record)

Crying babies are ok, we don't need dogs barking, too :P
Leave the dogs live free. You'd think you are doing them a favor or something they like by having them fly with you, don't you? Or buying them "clothes" and having them wear it, or taking them to a restaurant with you, or, or, or ...

Easy. Leave the pets at home where they belong.:td::td:
And when "home" is moving across the country or across the sea, sentence the pet to death in the cargo hold!
When they declare cargo holds safe for people, in terms of temperature control, air pressure, etc. then other living creatures can be sentenced to ride there, too.
There can be a whole lot of reasons for traveling with an animal beyond your short little list of allowed dogs.

We have a sticky thread on top of this forum titled http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/travel-pets/821818-welcome-travel-pets-forum.html that states:
Please don't post here if you have a problem with pets in the cabin, staying at your place of lodging or just don't like animals in general. Your thread will be considered off topic and disruptive and it will be deleted.
We are all here to assist our fellow travelers in answering general pet travel questions and not to discuss/debate the pros and cons of pets flying in the F or Y cabins. Therefore this thread is off topic and I am closing it to any further discussion.
