Dog dies in overhead locker on UA

[Gauges and Dials]

Does anyone on this thread dispute any of the following?

1. United offers a service for a fee, namely transporting small pets in carriers in the cabin for $125.
2. Given that this is a service United chooses to offer and advertise, discussions of whether pets should be in the cabin or not are not germane to this case.
3. This was not a case of a bogus emotional support animal, but instead a case of a customer who paid for the service offered by United, and complied with all of the applicable rules related to that service.
4. Given the above, discussions of the (obvious) abuse of the "emotional support animal" loophole are not germane to this case.
5. The airline's published policy clearly states that pets in approved carriers go under the seat in front of the passenger.
6. Given this, the airline, in compelling the passenger to place the animal in the overhead bin, was violating its own published policies.
7. United has demonstrated a willingness to use violence against passengers who do not comply with requests that are, upon examination, unreasonable.
8. Given this, it is understandable why the passenger did not push back very hard against the airline's demand that the animal be placed in the overhead baggage compartment.
