I do so appreciate the comments by justme and PHX Flyer, and I checked out the web link. As far as the "assistance goose" being seen in a different airport, I'm not surprised as my husband heard the "lady" in question telling someone she and her goose had flown over 30 times. A wheelchair that time - on our plane a claim of "recent foot surgery" (altho' I saw no evidence of a problem with her foot). Possibly the same person, but in both cases she and her goose got more cabin room than the normal person has... At any rate, I have now found the following posts on-line (they blatantly explain how to manipulate the law). This is worse than pathetic. I have mailed paper copies to both NW and Delta, and also e-mailed my letter to NW. And thanks for the suggestion to contact our Congresspersons re the issue. It's too bad the rest of us have to waste our time pointing out insanity...

"Airlines and other establishments CANNOT ask you what ailment you are suffering from to avoid discrimination. It's a legal issue... Also, go to www.sitstay.com where you can buy him a vest and cards outlining his purpose. If anyone asks you any questions, all you do is give them that card- it answers everything. My girlfriend flies with her dog and just told me about it after I paid 180 bucks!...

"Northwest and Delta now charge $300 round trip for an in cabin pet. I was able to get a letter from my psychiatrist stating that my dog is an emotional support animal, and for my next trip she will travel with no fee, and I was refunded the $300 I was charged (and paid) for a trip in February. I was hoping to find a vest she could wear that states she is an ESA, but so far, haven't been able to find one. But I found a tag online.

"I think with a good printer, some nice paper, and a little creativity you could write that letter for yourself. (Then, if you get busted, plead multiple personality disorder.)"

Nice finds! Can you post the links to where you found these statements?
