Do NOT in any way regulate the service of peanuts on airlines. This is a ridiculous intrusion on free enterprise and personal freedom. Not to mention, it will simply encourage freedom loving travelers to bring large amounts of peanuts on the aircraft themselves. Someone should stuff a bag of peanuts up the backside of Ray LaHood for proposing this stupid proposal.
Amen, this proposal goes too far. Freedom loving travelers don’t want to be told what they can and can’t bring on board the aircraft to eat. I know I would ignore any such ban as I currently regularly bring peanuts aboard any aircraft I am flying. What’s next? Ban crying kids? Ban passengers with Tourette’s? Ban caffeinated or alcoholic beverages? Who dreams up this ridiculous stuff?
This seems like another bureaucratic paperwork mess that will be outdated as soon as it is published, of little use and another cost of doing business that will raise ticket prices. I do NOT support this.
I’ve long believed that airlines purposely don’t announce delays because of the consequences of doing so. If a flight is delayed due to weather the airline has no obligation to provide any remedy to the affected passengers. Whereas a delay due to a mechanical problem may require compensation or accommodation be made. Why would an airline want to make an announcement that is a signal to passengers to request compensation?
This is just another burdensome cost to airlines that will be passed along to travelers. We don’t need it. What regulation does the DOT propose eliminating to offset the cost of this proposal? Nothing, I’m sure.

@kas Well reasoned. Law must be respected.
The Draft Summary does not address a Possible Regulatory Response of maintaining the status quo.
The DOT is wrong. If this would save airlines $45.9 million in labor costs they would have already eagerly done this on their own.
