You are right to feel entitled to bring your pet aboard, so long as CO allows it. CO is wrong to allow it. I like dogs, but they don't belong in the passenger cabin. I'm glad CO is charging you more. It's not enough and it shouldn't go only to CO. You should pay every passenger within 5 rows $100 each. As you say: sorry but that's how I feel.

I absolutely agree! I have had dogs all my life but they dont go on the plane. If we are on vacation the bloody animals get sent to the kennel where they can have their own vacation barking their brains out! The last thing I need is sharing my foot space with
Puddles, particularly in F!
With the obvious exception of service animals, ban 'em all!
