Guilty. The A320 cockpit windows do open, and I have stuck my head out, but not while moving.
Apparently airports just don't hire good help these days.
I just wonder if they were real service dogs, or fake "emotional support animals" with cute little vests that the owner bought online. By federal laws, both seem to get the same protection in transportation and in housing.
At least one article said one ESA and one pet.
AFAICT, at least at the Federal level, ESAs are only protected for housing. The rest is carrier policy. Not good policy, IMO, since there are no standards for ESA training, and yet restaurants and other accommodations are so afraid of the SA laws that they won't even do what they are allowed to when someone brings in a clearly untrained animal. (They can legally ask if it is a service animal and what service it is trained to perform. Not sure if the protections for SAs in training with non-disabled handlers are Federal or just state level.)
Had a friend who did the early basic obedience training before dogs were even considered for SA training by one of the Dallas area trainers; even her "rejects" were impressively well behaved dogs that could be trusted off-leash in places I wouldn't take a 12 year old without a firm grip. It was funny to watch her dealing with two or more dogs at once. On a heel command, they'd stack up at her left leg, with the closest dog barely touching her leg, and the others each just as gently walking against the dog to their right. She would go running through the woods with 3-4 dogs like that, and they'd split just long enough to avoid an obstacle and come right back into formation. Even a cujo-like response to a "stranger" at the door cut off like they had a pause button on command.
In short, some ill-behaved lint-on-a-leash yapping at the McD's hasn't had any legitimate service animal training, and I'm sure plenty of legitimate SA users would gladly toss its owner into a live volcano if our laws on such things weren't so unreasonably restrictive.
