It's a crackdown the industry has sought amid concerns some passengers are bringing their untrained pets aboard by fraudulently passing them as emotional support animals. The result, the industry and Transportation Department have said, is an increase in incidents such as bitings aboard planes. "The days of Noah's Ark in the air are hopefully coming to an end," said Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, which represents 50,000 crew members.
The proliferation of websites selling a doctor's certification that a passenger requires an emotional support animal"has enabled people who are not truly in need of animal assistance to abuse the rules and evade airline policies regarding animals in the cabin," said the Airlines for America industry group.
