I was just referring to the fact that the last few of these issues have all been on tiny regional jets. I wasn't ignoring the fact that it happens successfully quite often.
Just curious, but do some US Dash 8s not have a bulkhead and the FA jumpseat is facing a passenger? If true, would a service animal be allowed in the space between row 1 and the jumpseat?
