LETTER: Airlines should take a page from the past
With all of the wrangling about comfort and service animals on passenger airline flights, the simplest, cheapest and most expeditious solution to this dilemma is to look to the past. Smoking was permitted at the rear of every flight before it was disallowed all together. The airlines should pre-board these passengers with their respective animal companions beginning at the rear of the airplane, just like they did with smoking passengers for all those years. They also should allow other passengers to disembark prior to those with animals.
The system worked for smokers and the rest of the flying public, so why reinvent a system that worked for many years?
