Another passenger removed from a flight

[GWN7]

This time a South West flight.

Woman complained she had a "severe pet allergy" and could not prove she would not be at risk while on the plane because there was a pet and a service dog on the flight. The airline asked her to deplane and she refused. Police called. She stated she was a "professor" so I guess that makes her special. She wanted the dogs removed but didn't get her way.

“We are disheartened by the way this situation unfolded and the Customer’s removal by local law enforcement officers,” Southwest said in a statement. “We publicly offer our apologies to this Customer for her experience and we will be contacting her directly to address her concerns.

Apologies to this customer?
Are they really seeking a slew of copycat incidents?
They should be apologizing to the 299 other passengers who were all made late and had to witness her behavior.

(That is what I profess.)

This is what I thought before even reading your response.....why apoligize to the offender, and not the victims in this case ?

WTF animals got more rights than people.
I bet if was a peanut allergy everyone on board would have for go their complementary peanuts.

Hard to say who was really in the wrong. We don't know if the lady really had an allergy or if the service dog was really a service dog.

She is a professor........ "Women's Studies in Religion Program"

Can you guess what religion?

Here's a hint..... it's one that doesn't like dogs.

True enough. Airline travel has become such a commodity that people just expect it to automatically accommodate all of their needs, whatever they may be. There always seems to be someone who thinks of themselves as so special everyone else has to adapt to their needs. It's not a bus people. They can't just pull over if you get the sniffles.

There are many people who are not even as worthy as a lime tick....

Then we have "Man's Best Friend".

Let that sink in......

We have a winner. I'd lay odds on her allergy being exagerated. This is the new way of saying "Please pay attention to me" and it distracts from people who have serious allergies. Just sayin.

Anila Daulatzai is a socio-cultural anthropologist with active research projects in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Her current interests primarily circulate around the themes of war and humanitarianism, as well as the related themes of violence and care. She was trained at UCLA in Public Health and in Islamic Studies, and completed her PhD in Socio-cultural Anthropology in 2013 from the Johns Hopkins University.

Seems to me her getting thrown off was a calculated social experiment.

Maybe she was reading this thread:

Fake service dogs really chap my hide.

and decided to take a stand...

[Steve Carlton]

If she had such a "life-threatening allergy," she would have made arrangements with the airline before flying, like people with peanut allergies do. Her willingness to fly anyway with this "life-threatening allergy" and these dogs aboard proves she's lying. To expect another passenger to leave the plane with their dogs demonstrates astonishing arrogance and disregard for others. Fuch her.

[berettafan]

i have moderate to severe dander allergies. a dog on a plane could make the trip miserable for me. a horse on the plane would likely kill me (asthma) if the flight were more than 1/2 hr or so.

yes, i know a horse isn't going to be on a plane but if i can be so horribly allergic to an animal it seems reasonable that someone else could be as well

[Bowling]

So Beretta, how would you have conducted yourself in this case, what would be your expectations regarding other passengers, those with the animals and the others, what do you expect from the airline carrier? Do you carry a dr's note, for lack of a better term, while traveling?

[Steve Carlton]

I sat next to a horse on a flight to El Paso once. Nearly killed me.

[berettafan]

I personally would've sucked it up. When I travel I keep an inhaler with me.
