New Support Animal Policy
Alaska Airlines Imposes New Restrictions On Emotional Support Animals | Boise State Public Radio
Starting in Oct. only cats and dogs will be allowed as support animals. ^
Hopefully it will be an industry standard soon.

but you can bring it as a psychological service animal, and no documentation required - so I assume those that abuse the emotional service animal policy will just start calling them psychological service animals and carry on as usual.

Humans should be allowed. Then you could bring your kid because the kid provides emotional support. The proof is if the kid is taken away by the police. You naturally would become hysterical.
Seriously, humans should not be a permitted emotional support animal. That is what a second paid ticket is for. Seeing eye dog, I can agree. Not human emotional support animal without a separate paid ticket.
