The emotional support squirrel who was banned from a Frontier airlines flight has spoken up about the way he and his human were treated.

“She needed me on that flight. Frontier’s policies are frankly nuts.”

He points out that he occupies little space, is very good in the air, and has minimal dietary requirements.

“All I need is one mini packet of peanuts. And if it’s chex mix instead, I may be disappointed, but I deal.”

He fully expects the airline to go on the offensive and try to slur his good name to win the public opinion battle.

“Just watch as they claim I could have rabies.”

No matter what their policy, the rodent still thinks Frontier screwed up by being surprised by the situation.

“When your flight originates in Ohio and ends in Florida, you should expect these things to happen.”
