American Airline is soon to follow.
Canât wait for ALL airlines to follow suit. Itâs a shame so much abuse has taken things so far down this path. 
Side issue: British airways will be discontinuing reclining seats https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericrosen/2018/01/11/british-airways-to-remove-reclining-economy-seats-on-some-flights/
Only for flight of up to 4 hours. I like it. On a flight that short no one will be sleeping anyway.
My DH has a talent for falling asleep when he sits down on a plane, regardless of the duration of the flight. He has the same skill for nodding off as soon a s a sermon starts in a religious setting 
As long as he doesnât nod off when you start talking.
Oh he does that too⊠He must have fallen asleep when he asked me if I wanted his old iwatch (I said YES, I wanted to try it out) - instead he sent it , along with his old iphone, to one of our nephewsâŠ
You havenât met my husband. He sleeps through most flights. Like jym626âs DH, he often falls asleep as soon as he sits down. Something about the sound of the air coming through those little adjustable vents just lulls him right to sleep.
For 50 bucks Iâll send you an official looking letter saying your pet behaves. Just send me a short clip of them sitting. 
Looking to see who can sign the âappropriate behaviorâ documentation, but happy to see Delta says:
The âbehaviorâ form is a self report https://www.delta.com/content/dam/delta-www/pdfs/policy/EmotionalSupportAnimal-RequiredForms.pdf
NOT TRUE with respect to support animals.
But itâs a startâŠ
âThe âbehaviorâ form is a self reportâ
RatsâI was gonna make lots of moneyâŠ
Interesting observation. We are visiting a botanical garden that has its annual âdogs in the gardenâ event. So. Many. Cute. Dogs! But - there is not a single dog in the cafe or the gift shop. There are signs posted that only ADA defined service dogs are welcome. So far, I have not seen a single fake service pooch indoors or any attempt to bring one in. Those dogs have well-trained humans, apparently. 
I like that Delta is requiring people touting ESA animals (and they have limited what animals they will allow, YAY!) to have their treating doctor fill out Deltaâs form, not just provide a generic letter. If it prevents even one mental health professional with questionable ethics who has been selling fake letters on line from continuing to do it, then thatâs a start.
NRDsb4: Yes, of course I mean ESAâs. Service animals are highly trained to do a specific job and are no danger to the public at all (except if allergic). More people are allergic to cats anyway, and these are mostly dogs.
If people werenât such LIARS, we wouldnât have to go this route of restriction. Just use common sense and leave your pets at home.
I read the airline document will be âself-reportâ. If people already lie, they arenât going to be deterred from lying again on a form.
If they lie about the behavior and the pet misbehaves (soils the area, bothers other people or animals etc) they will get the boot! YAY!
Only the âbehaviorâ form is a self report. They still need a healthcare provider to fill out the other form, and they need the vet to confirm that all vaccinations are up to date.
How will they get the boot if they eat off tray tables? Theyâll be at 30,000 feet!
Iâm going to apply for the job at Delta as the animal scanner as they now have to have everything reviewed 2 days prior to boarding. Iâm pretty much turning everyone down.
