Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone
JamJam writes "Air Canada has been told to create a special 'buffer zone' on flights for people who are allergic to nuts. The Canadian Transportation Agency has ruled that passengers who have nut allergies should be considered disabled and accommodated by the airline. Air Canada has a month to come up with an appropriate section of seats where passengers with nut allergies would be seated. The ruling involved a complaint from Sophia Huyer, who has a severe nut allergy and travels frequently. Ms. Huyer once spent 40 minutes in the washroom during a flight while snacks were being served."
I'm allergic to selfish arseholes who seem to have forgotten that they were babies at one point. Where can I get an AK-59, so I can use them for target practice?
Insightful? Fuck you. Peanut allergy formation isn't fully understood, but is believed to be related to the how and why of initial exposure, as well as genetics.
I used to know a guy (former special forces, FWIW) who had a young son with a number of health complications, including peanut allergy. Despite the health-related shit he had to go through, he was a fun, upbeat, all around great kid. Do you honestly believe that the life of an asshole like you is worth more than a kid like that?
You want to improve the gene pool by weeding out the unworthy? Start with yourself. I would recommend mentioning your proposal to this kid's dad - he'd gladly take you out of the gene pool in about 5 seconds.
Yeah, yeah, I know, don't feed the trolls. It's just that sometimes ignorance needs to be refuted regardless.
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.
Maybe. But why do I have to suffer for the need of some people to propagate their genes? And why do these people insist in flying for 14+ hours with a baby? Also, I thought babies sleep most of the time, why don't they sleep on planes?
Sorry if I sound bitter. My neighbor has kids. And they easily overcome the ability to absorb sound my walls have.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
