[NAGDU] Notice of Proposed Rule-Making regarding service animals on airplanes

[cindyray at gmail.com]

Mike, for the benefit of those who aren't as familiar as youconcerning
finding the information we are to look at, please send the text of the
Notice of Rules Making. This link did not seem to go there, or at least I
personally need more information. When I clicked on it, it said Notice of
Rules making, but all that was there was a search form. I will look again,
but it would be helpful if you sent it.

Not sure who all has seen this yet but DOT has released an NPRM today
regarding changes to the ACAA.

ce-proposed-rulemaking-traveling-air-service-animals

It appears to allow airlines to require that we present documentation, and
check in in advance of the general public so that our service animals can be
observed. This is not good and very surprising considering that feedback
from people with disabilities was supposedly taken into consideration.

Will be interested to hear how NAGDU plans to respond. I plan to file my own
comments personally. I travel 1-2 times per month and having to check in an
hour advance of everyone else would be a huge inconvenience.

Mike
