Coffey summed up the unusual exercise in two words: “Democracy!” Coffey clarified that she was not travelling on the flight herself. The video she shared showed passengers gathered at what appeared to be a Delta Air Lines gate at LaGuardia, raising their hands in response to the question.Watch the video here: The clip, which was also reported by aviation website View From The Wing, crossed 10 million views online. However, it remained unclear which option received the most votes or whether the flight was delayed for cleaning.The incident also triggered a debate among social media users, with some arguing that they would much rather deal with a dog-related mishap than other unpleasant experiences on flights.One user joked that there would always be a parent willing to grab cleaning supplies and get the plane moving. Another said they would prefer travelling with a cabin full of dogs over one full of people.A nurse and frequent traveller also defended pets, pointing out that passengers had encountered all kinds of bodily fluids and messes on aircraft.Others, however, felt that pets should not be allowed in passenger cabins, with some arguing that only trained service animals should be permitted.- Ends
