That's nice of you and I would do the same. That said, I think it's unreasonable to expect you can get on a plane then issue an edict to fellow passengers.
FC/OT: Airline kicks family off plane for announcing daughter's peanut allergy....
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
I count on moms and my nut bags so I don’t get hangry. Unless bitchesboy is in my row I’m eating my nuts
How hard is it to pass on peanuts for a flight? Honestly....man if I don't get to eat my peanuts as to not send a kid into an allergic reaction then I will pout about it as I'm that big of a selfish Richard. Par for the course honestly for so many. Parents handled this wrong, but to act as if this is some huge sacrifice is a joke.
My daughter had this and we had to notify airline in advance. Some flights no peanuts at all so I would take the twins in one flight and my wife would take the other daughter on another. Thanks to North Carolina and Duke hospitals my daughter has worked her way out of all nut and egg allergies to the point of not really having a whole egg or can of nuts but if something has nuts or egg in it. took 6 years.
Now, if we can just discuss the use of a speaker phone to conduct conversations, listen to music or watch videos while on a train, plane, car, elevator or other enclosed area........
This happens all the time in the restaurant. Sir please take your phone off of speakerphone. lol. Always amazes me.Now, if we can just discuss the use of a speaker phone to conduct conversations, listen to music or watch videos while on a train, plane, car, elevator or other enclosed area........
My daughter’s best friend has a severe peanut allergy. He’s a great kid, but lives with a lot of anxiety when out of the house. We go to great lengths to make sure he is safe and welcome in our house. Prior to knowing this kid, I did not give it much thought.
How Travis, one of the villains from the Hunter mini-series deals with peanut allergic kids.
Or a little kid playing video games on a phone or other device at full blast volume.

Not to nitpick, but the subject line should have read “Family kicked off flight after dad rushes cockpit door.”
I mentioned this earlier, this isn’t a new thing. Airlines deal with peanut allergies often, surely. Surely they’d have a set SOP for these circumstances. What’s the outlier here? Dad rushed the cockpit door.

Travis Leich role as Greg Austin is right up there with Hans Landa.Ohhhh....he's a Nazi in the show. I see now....it's not really the peanuts.
I find older people to be the worst offenders with this and a lot of times at the airport or on a plane - like I want to hear about Aunt Sally's bunions at volume 11 ( Spinal Tap)Now, if we can just discuss the use of a speaker phone to conduct conversations, listen to music or watch videos while on a train, plane, car, elevator or other enclosed area........
Hopefully you're just trolling for attention.
Otherwise, you're a grown man who relies on his mommy to feed him or he'll turn into a lil crankypants ... and you're so self-centered, you can't have the decency to help someone avoid a potentially deadly event ... someone you're calling a "bitchesboy" simply because they have a deadly allergy.
Just keep her away from civilization and all should be well.
Didn't you say she was a hippie type? Now we're to believe that she wants kids with deadly allergies to be exposed to those things so they can be killed off to "improve" the gene pool?
Shouldn't she then be keeping the nuts from you to avoid appeasing your weak behavior of getting hangry when you don't get your nut bags?
This is another example of where are culturally in the world that something like this caused an entire family to be kicked off a plane, spent $6400 booking other arrangements and a whole news story is released over it. A little common sense and compromise could have easily solved this, the family could have flown on the plane and there wouldn't be a negative news story about the airline. How have we gotten here where an announcement about a food allergy couldn't be figured out on a plane so it didn't escalate to this?
Think the dad crossed the line approaching and knocking on the cockpit door. I think the smart play would have been to have everyone, including the kids, refuse to get off the airline, be forcibly removed for not following a 'lawful request', and then sue the airline and win. It's a well known and lucrative strategy.
Yeah, I am sure that could have worked in favor of the family but did we really need to get to that point? They couldn't have used their brains to figure out how to handle this where it didn't end in a family being removed from the plane? This is one of those stories that makes me say, "what the hell are we doing?"
It just feels like nobody is interested in working together on anything anymore and it's just all ******** when you go anywhere anymore. And I am not blaming the parents here, or the pilot or stewardesses or the airline. It just seems like everybody is only interested in getting into confrontations at this point. This seems like one of those things that could have been handled in a few minutes if people were just reasonable on both sides.
No. He's deeply evil who wouldn't sell out to save his life unlike Landa the deal maker.
Yeah, I guess the dad trying to open the cockpit door had no bearing on this wholeissue....
That'd be like taking a beef-allergic kid to Outback Steakhouse and telling the kitchen staff to be careful - "My kid is allergic to beef".
I don't have any kids. Maybe I'd feel differently if I did but my philosophy is that it's not my job to worry about other people's children (extreme circumstances aside). If I want to eat peanuts, I'm going to eat effing peanuts. I'm an a$$hole and I'm OK with that.
Just out of curiosity, how old are you? I am not asking a leading question or anything it's that I am genuinely curious.
Wife had a recent 'incident' on United. Flying business class to Paris for work and she has Senator status with Lufthansa (believe it's their second highest travel tier). Anyway, United is part of the 'Star Alliance' group of airlines who share benefits. She's pretty particular about seats and made sure to book a 'solo' window seat - think she was in Row 2. She boards almost right away and when she gets there someone is in her seat. He produces a ticket with the same seat number she has. She gets the flight attendant and they start to sort it out. Turns out my wife's name is on the airplane manifest for the seat, but the guy refuses to move. They discuss and discuss (all the while wife is missing the champagne/hot towel preflight service - or so she told me....
and the attendant says he will relocate my wife to another business class seat or he will call the airline to have a supervisor discuss with the guy in her seat. She ultimately moves and they give her a $100.00 voucher. I told her I would have let the supervisors come aboard to move the guy.....

It sounds like it had a lot to do with it. That's my point. Why did something so easily solved end up with the dad trying to enter the cockpit to talk to the captain? The fact that it got to that point is what I'm talking about.
Because the parents are idiots.
Turns out the mom here is a bit of a local celebrity - a BBC 'weather presenter'. Looks like she asked the crew to make an announcement about the peanuts, they refused, so she asked people around her who then started passing it from row to row. Someone told the pilot and then he 'refused' to fly with them on board and they were removed. Think that is when the dad approached the cockpit.
So, mom is a spoiled "*****" and dad is a wanker.
The pilot is the ultimate authority on a plane.

I was flying 2 weeks ago and there were 2 ladies in front of us. I don’t think they went more than 10 seconds without talking the whole 4 hr flight. And loud. And they didn’t know each other.
I’m 6 1 230. I ALWAYS sit next to the biggest guy on the flight who chews rollos (unlimited supply) with his mouth open. if I forget my ear buds I’m out of my mind.
