If you’re flying on Alaska Airlines starting in mid-January, don’t plan on boarding with your support pig or miniature horse.
The airline, acting in the wake of new federal guidelines aimed at reining in a range of at times exotic animals that passengers have brought onto commercial planes as emotional support animals, kept it simple in announcing on Tuesday what it would allow: only qualified service dogs that are able to lie on the floor or be held in one’s lap.

With a COVID-19 vaccine expected to be widely available by spring, employers are starting to grapple with how to get workers onboard.
Can companies make vaccination mandatory â and threaten to fire those who refuse to roll up their sleeves for an as-yet widely untested medicine?
Should they simply encourage it by offering money or a day off or even a goody bag?
