“Her only other choice is never to allow her child on an airplane just in case the flight attendants serve peanuts. Is that what you think she should do?”
Yep pretty much. I’m fed up with all the “accomodations” normal people have to make for those that aren’t. Can’t help it if the kid is allergic as the mother claims. Hope the judge asks for definite proof of the allergy.
A good friend of mine has a long laundry list of allergies. Her latest. She’s allergic to pork. Which goes well with her chicken allergy. She hates having these allergies. But, she deals with them. She knows to avoid things she is allergic to and does not try to inconvenience everyone else If only everyone could be the same way.
I agree. But if, as the mother claims, she asked the attendants if they were going to serve peanuts and they said no, then did it anyway, to not have served peanuts wouldn't have been an accommodation to the child. Not serving them was already planned.
Personally, if this proves to be true, the attendants should be fired. I'm not hot on suing the airline, but the attendants were negligent and could have caused the child to die (again, assuming what the mother says about his allergy is true).
Even if what the mother says about the child's allergy isn't true, the attendants wouldn't have known that. Since they told her they weren't going to serve peanuts, and it appears she informed them the child was allergic, they shouldn't have served them.
