"A Force of Nature for Safe Travel with Allergies"
http://allergicliving.com/2014/10/09/a-force-of-nature-for-safe-travel-with-allergies/
--- Quote ---When a United Airlines flight crew said they wouldn’t make an announcement to passengers that Lianne Mandelbaum’s son, Joshua, would be flying on board with a peanut allergy, they didn’t know who they were messing with. The angered mother found another way home and soon launched a petition on the website Care2 urging airlines to make accommodations for allergic travelers.

guess:
One would need to alter the ADA itself to include DOT under its auspices. In addition, the validity of the contract of carriage would need to be completely reversed which would alter from the history of its recognition by courts. The contract of carriage is in effect by the act of purchasing a ticket.

Macabre:
When will US airlines have to answer to the ADA??!!? This makes me so angry.
YouKnowWho:
The last flight for AirTran was last week. They were eaten up by Southwest. So the one airline who seemed offended that I would ask for peanuts because someone might be allergic gets taken over by the one airline that thrives on peanuts.
(And yes, my comfort level is different than most on this site but that doesn't mean that I want to find out in the air that DS2 is aerosol/contact reactive, kwim?)
:disappointed:
