At one point, I struck up a conversation with the guy, and he said that the dog flies JFK-LAX-JFK at least twice a month with him, always in F, and has never had any trouble at all.
In my experience, there seems to be a disproportionate number of dogs in F on the LAX-JFK route. Interestingly, I don't think I've ever seen one in Y or J.
