Alaska Air 15

It is the tale of an "emotional supporting cat" aboard a Alaska Airlines plane and a 15-year-old traveling companion who turns out to be heavily hypersensitive to dogs. Alaska Airlines is the setting for the tale, and it comes to us from The Arctic Sounder, a weeklies paper that serves the northernmost parts of Alaska where the little gal resides.

It all began last weekend after the woman's sister, who had been in the warehouse for two whole families, took off aboard Alaska Airlines Flug 153, a Boeing 737 from Anchorage to Kotzebue, Alaska. Once the little lady saw another passanger carrying a kitten on the chair next to her, she said to an assistant that she had serious sensitivity to them.

An Alaska Airlines account manager supposedly began arguing with the young woman and accused her of not having told her about her allergies before she boarded the plan. One of the stewardesses, who seems more likeable to the young lady than the assistant in conversation with her mum, then phoned her mum.

Although she wanted to take the kitten out of the airplane, her owners actually purchased a fare. Well, the stewardess said the landlady insisted that if anyone had to get off the airplane, it should be the maid - not her kitten. That' s exactly what happened: the carrier said to the 15-year-old that she could either remain on the air and run the risks of an hypersensitive response, or get off and spend the night in Anchorage.

"Well, an hour ago," writes the girl's mom, "my 15-year-old infant was taken off Flight 153 with Alaska Airlines from Anchorage to Kotzebue because an Emotional Support kitty purchased a place to sit so it could go with the family. "I asked Alaska Airlines about their side of the coin.

"â??We do our best to meet all individual needs when travelling with Alaska Airlines. Our employees followed the work processes in order to create as much space as possible between an allergy sufferer and another traveller with an on board pet in the cab. Whilst trying to help both travellers, the minor traveller decided due to her hypersensitivity to food to be accommodated on a later plane.

For example, we don't know if the person with the kitten is actually following the regulations of Alaska and has provided 48 hour documentary about an emotionally supportive beast. Seeing that airline companies are doing things like prohibiting groundnuts because some airline customers are hypersensitive to them, it seems crazy to allow other airline customers to take living pets on board at the same time.

It seems that this is one of the few occasions when airline companies are actually "begging for new rules rather than resisting them", as the journal report says - all to stop the nonsense of the so-called emotionally supportive creatures that trump people's air travel privileges. "Finally the little one made it home to Kotzebue after spending the nights with her relatives in Anchorage.

Here is the facebook mail from the maiden who had to get off the airplane.
