I also think that the fee they charge is way to much, often more than my ticket. And the posters that say that they wind up having to give up a carry on bag is correct. Plus they allow children to a certain age to sit on your lap for free so what is the differnce. I believe the true reason they charge so much is they really don't want it to get out of hand, if it was free there might be a lot of dogs flying that don't do so now and a lot of non dog loving passengers would probably not like that, so in a way I get it.
Long before 911 I flew every week for business and I snuck my yorkie on all most every week, and if I wanted to I could still do it now, because TSA does not look to see if a pet is on your ticket. I don't do it because it is not worth the hassle if I got stopped and I don't travel every week. I also don't see it as stealing because lap sitting kids fly free and with most airlines, carry ons are free. Airlines nickle and dime you to death now, can't even get a lousy bag of peanuts without having to use your credit card.
