Now that I have thought about the weight issue, it is probably irrelevant. I doubt any of those planes get close to max weight, but there is more to it than just weight per person. There are aerodynamic limitations (physics laws) that determine max weight capacity. There are weight issues now for baggage as well. Or so I am told. Anyone here confirm that? May have been a space issue in any case; merely trying to provide sufficient accommodation for the dog. -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott Dollar Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 4:32 PM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] Re: illegal questioning by american airlines Hi Erika, I want to make it a litttle clear about the weight issues on airplane. The weight issues are for human/person only. There is no weight issues for a guide dog and service dog that has exemption from transportation. My suggestion to contact the DOT asap to make sure that there is no rules for guide dog and service dog for weight issues.
