I have no problem with a "legit" service animal that is trained. UA, DL, AA, WN, AS and other carriers need to lawyer up and "fix" this problem on a tube of metal flying at 35,000 feet in the air. UA lawyers need to talk to AA, DL, AS, WN lawyers and get this problem FIXED as a team. ASAP! You can go on eBay right now and have a "shrink" sign you off with a certificate, badge, vest, etc for about $80. Even less if you are the low bidder. Fix this UA, and other carriers! It can be done. Work together.
Cool - seems like movement in the right direction to protect some passengers from the health risks posed by others. The research on the effects of lost sleep are becoming quite astounding, so I'm looking forward to restrictions on kids in the J cabin for overnight flights in the future too.
