Lady says she has a life threatening allergy to dogs. There are service dogs on her flight. They say she has to deboard. She refuses. They drag her off.
What was the airline suppose to do? Take off and let her die in the air?
I read somewhere she's facing a few charges. Did she think the service dog patron was getting off? Yeah sure lady we will inconvenience another passenger due to your claim with no paperwork. GTFO

Flying has become like riding the Greyhound with all the freak shows and trash.
She had no medical documents.
Even if she did, the airline can't deny someone their service animal. I calm and respectful attitude would have likely found her on the next flight with a free voucher for later flights. Instead she got a disorderly.
Pretty sure her claim was false, then she acted up, so ya, punt that dumb biatch.Quote:

They are to say the life threatening allergy that she claimed while complaining about the service dog are controlled enough that she won't have a medical emergency while in the air.
Life threatening dog allergies are rare and dogs on the plane wouldn't be her only concern. It would be people that lived with dogs and places dogs have been... in other words, the whole world.
She's a whiny bitch that just doesn't like dogs.
Maybe so but this entire Service Dog bullshit is out of hand.
"Airlines at it again"... except this was in no way the airline's fault.
I agree that deathly dog allergy sounds dubious, and the "service dogs" were probably dubious too, but the bottom line is that everyone is a fucking crybaby nowadays.
Like when these little designer doggies are in the supermarket sitting in the kiddy part of the cart and yapping at everyone that gets too close?Quote:

And the other passengers within a few minutes. [emoji3]Quote:

No...she thought she was entitled to throw at least 2 other passengers off so she could fly. #entitlementQuote:

I have another grand business idea...an airline for dogs, but they are allowed one service human, as well as the standard carry on and personal item.
Canine travellers must surely represent an untapped customer segment.

^^^They would certainly be a lot more agreeable. The dogs flying coach still couldn't use the first class fire hydrant, though.
I saw this the other day and it grossed me out. I like dogs, and I’m a dog owner. But I don’t want my food where your dogs ass just was. It’s not like the grocery carts are ever washed besides maybe sitting out in the rain..Quote:

I think that's the problem here, or at least it seems to be.Quote:

IOW, this woman may be an entitled bitch or whatever, but she may also basically have been having a panic attack at the possibility of not being able to breathe, and not have had the capacity to be reasoned and rational.
Truthfully, without knowing a lot more details, I'm not going to pass judgment on anyone in this story. We don't know that she was asking to have the animals ejected, we don't know if she was offered to be reseated in a different part of the plane and rejected that, or what she claimed or asked. Maybe she just asked to be seated somewhere else on the plane and they said "ooh, life threatening dog allergy, GTFO".
I would fly that airline.Quote:

If a person says I have A life threatening allergy to dogs it's completely reasonable for the airline to not want this person on the plane with dogs that they have to allow on the flight. 68 percent of Americans households also own dogs. Chances are good that this woman would be seated next to someone with doggy dander on them.
And life threatening dog allergies are rare.
Lady was most likely overreacting. And if she really did have life threatening allergies she would have the meds she needed. She would know the risks of flying and figured it out before hand..
Yeah on if it's your child or someone elses?Quote:

Bobby wins the thread. Twice.
SWA knows how to PR. United could learn a thing or two.Quote:

And with the way cops are nowadays, she might have fared better with the dogs.
As someone who deals with this shit increasingly at work I can confirm this.Quote:

Yeah, that used to bug me but unless the dog shits in the wrong place or mouths off, I decided I don't care any more. NBDQuote:
