No
Should the needs of the people needing emotional support dogs outweigh the needs of those with allergies?
Under current law, yes. Practically, accommodations should be made on both sides but are currently completely opposite to airline policy and flier culture.
(For example, support animal passenger and allergic passenger should probably have been seated in 1A and 6F, or equivalents, but can you imagine the size of the thread on here when the original occupant of 1F is moved to accomplish that?)
I suspect there are more people that are allergic than there are that must have a dog on the plane for emotional support.
Probably.
The needs of the many should outweigh those of the few.
I'd bet that Priceline guy would understand. He has friends from other places.
Except in situations like F seat pitch vs Y, or priority boarding, right?
