Don't like it, charter your own plane. A common carrier does not belong to any one passenger. It is shared space, and some people are not capable of sharing. They can go on their own.
My proposal would be that in the summer, pets simply can't travel by air. Sorry, your pet can't go on vacation with you. *shrug*
I believe the airline cabin should be a shared space for humans. It simply isn't necessary to bring animals with you on airline flights.
(Obvious exception for legitimate service animals.)
Not that you have anything to worry about...they're currently permitted and it's not like Southwest listens to my ideas.
