I was recently on a flight from Chicago to Seattle with a chihuahua on someone's lap a few rows in front of me that yapped in long stretches for the entire flight. Far, far worse than any child screaming.
Yup, but they are allowed regardless. Only difference is with an ESA certificate the airline didn't make $125. A 'pain in the ass' tax that's levied on noisy people, dogs, and children and paid in a sliding scale to the people around them would be great.
