If this is all it took (plus $180?) to get an ESA letter, this proves the point about all the fake ESAs flying around in the wild.

Maybe anyone submitting an ESA letter to an airline should be required to take the ESA on *every* trip (and implicitly not travel to any overseas destinations or use any partners that do not permit ESAs). I suspect that many ESAs are only *needed* for vacations and not short business trips where the animal could be embarrassing or inconvenient.
