This does not solve the big animal issue, but it would solve the issue for many, many people. the $150 each way fee is obnoxious and people will continue to find a way around that. It is not right to fake needing an ESA, but I also don't think it's right for the airline to charge insane fees.
Easy fix- Deprive the airlines of your hard-earned money and drive. The airlines price on board pets highly as a deterrent- not as a profit center.
