May a passenger with a service monkey sit in seat 8C on a CRJ 200?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only if the monkey sits on the lap
• D. Only in an emergency

Answer: (B)

Service animals aboard SkyWest flights are dogs; monkeys aren’t accepted as service animals. That means a passenger with a service monkey isn’t allowed to occupy a seat like 8C on a CRJ 200. The rule exists for safety, health, and operational reasons: monkeys can be unpredictable, may pose a bite or scratch risk, could spread disease, and can interfere with crew procedures and equipment. Because this policy applies to all seats, there aren’t exceptions for sitting on a lap or traveling only in an emergency—the service animal eligibility rule takes precedence, so the answer is no.
