What's Happening Now

June 27, 2010 12:59 pm

It seems all the so-called allergy sufferers are children, then keep them at home till they outgrow the allergy. We never heard of peanut allergy till a few years ago so what has happened? Most Americans are eating too much processed food and getting fat and sick. Get your self healthy again by eating properly and you probably will not have an allergy.
What if I’m allergic to certain kinds of cloth that people wear? Then must we tell them to not get on the plane?
I feel uneasy at the smell of some food people bring on the plane to eat. Shell we say no to all food period?
Maybe we can not bring on any luggage as it may contain some substance that will cause someone to not feel good?
Our government in-charge wants to control everything we do now, we must resist any more control or regulation… more »

…of government into our lives. If this passes we can not eat peanuts on trains, taxis, school buses, subways or any public transportation.
This discussion must be stopped by a federal judge now before it gets any further. I want my peanuts and no one should be able to tell me what I can eat.

I run a retail business. If I changed my prices every few minutes or hours like the airline does or charge my customers different prices on the same day. They would probably never come back and call the better business bureau. How is it that airlines can stick it to us passengers any way they please? And they wonder why so much distrust and angry customers.
Recently I wrote to one airline that had a ticket price of around $198. but then listed the taxes at something like $400.00 extra. I told them it was Bait and Add on. Similar to some retail stores that Bait customers with low price and then Switch to higher priced goods. It is illegal and called Bait and Switch. The airlines or some ticket sellers are guilty of lies. Taxes are never higher than the price of the ticket. How dumb do airlines… more »

…think we are?
I spend hours trying to buy a ticket without getting ripped off. It should not be this difficult. And one way fare should be half of a RT not higher than RT. They force us to buy RT and then use only the one way portion. « less

Mr. Aldrich:
Please read the earlier posts on this topic. One would hope that you are a reasonable enough individual that if someone came to you and said that “Eating peanuts next to me could make me really sick – please don’t do that” that you would not choose to ‘resist’ this person.
This is a matter of life and death to some people, so I would hope that, if faced with a situation, you would show others that you can be a considerate person (despite your message above).
Thank you.

Thank you for your comment bill. I take it you support a full ban on post purchase price increases. Would a less strict proposal, such as forcing airlines to disclose price increases and requiring customers to affirmatively agree to them, be sufficient? Would a partial ban on price increases preventing them 30-60 days before the flight work?
