I would rather fly on a plane with a little dog or cat than sit next to some lady that has bathed in her perfume. I sat near a lady that decided to freshen up before the plane landed. She proceeded to spray herself with some scent that she found to be quite lovely. I sneezed until I was able to get off the plane.
I understand the concern of people that have cat allergies. But, it is not like you are going to be onboard with a petting zoo. The animals are going to be restricting to their carriers. They are not going to climb into your lap and snuggle with you. Those people that say they are now going to fly another airline... which one?? There is no airline that does not fly pets onboard. SW was the last one.
It's kind of sad really. There were things that set SW apart from other airlines and now it seems as though SW is becoming a bit like them. But, as a former SW employee my loyalty remains true to the airline that I love. I'll put up with the screaming kids. howling little dogs, and the meowing cats. Because in the end, there is no other airline that I would choose to fly.
