I agree - airline pet policies are ridiculously expensive! I'll pout too.
Southwest's pet policy is a little more reasonable, as is JetBlue. For JetBlue, the cost is still $100 each way, but pets in carriers count as your carry-on personal item, so I believe you would still be able to bring a carry-on for the overhead compartment. Also, JetBlue doesn't charge for your first checked bag.
Don't know where you are going though...and JetBlue is only in certain cities I believe. But good luck to your son!
