[NAGDU] United Airlines service dog form

Wed Dec 7 01:06:11 UTC 2022

I believe they do make us second-class citizens. They separate a subset of a minority group and force them, us, to perform a task not required by any other group, majority or minority. What would happen if a non-white person or a woman or gay person was asked to fill out a form before being able to fly. There'd be huge trouble, and rightly so. It's absolutely wrong to make us do this. It's the result of people breaking the law by declaring that their pets are service dogs. We've flown for years with our guides, with little to no trouble, and now we're forced to jump through these hoops, all because of people doing something illegal. It's basically punishing the innocent for what the guilty has done. Next step might be trying to certify service animals, and then we'll be forced to carry ID cards. What will happen to owner trainers then? It's just wrong and infuriates me. I've had to fly once since this went down, but unless there is an emergency, I will not fly anywhere because of this policy.

I’ve flown with three different airlines in the past year and I have not had issues with the forms. They are pretty simple and with some airlines you fill out the form on the webpage and then can print it with the print button.
I don’t think having to fill these out makes us second class citizens. There are far worse things that make us  second class citizens.
