One issue not explicitly mentioned here is that the use of speed or motion based disablement technologies seems based on the assumption that a driver is unaccompanied while working. Are there technologies which overcome this issue? Even if there are, is this the type of technology that truckers, employers, citizens, etc. would like to see in their vehicles?

Welcome to Regulation Room. You can find the VTTI study through the Agency Documents page or by going here: http://ow.ly/1thY5
Thanks.

Welcome to Regulation Room.
The link for the NSC study mentioned in the post appears broken. Is there somewhere else we should look?

Update: Here is a link to the NSC White Paper: http://bit.ly/9w7L7R

Thanks for the comment! It looks like the proposed rule is narrowly focused on peanuts. Where is the allergy data from in your post? Is it misguided for the FAA to only address peanut allergies or what’s your position?

Details on methodology can be found via the Source Material information in the body of the post. Please report back on any thoughts.

Thanks for commenting. Is there some place we should look to find information regarding which airlines distribute peanut foods or foods in contact with peanuts? Also, where should I look for the data regarding pet and peanut allergies? Let’s get the information out in the open so we can start sifting through it!

Thanks for the information? Are other contributors aware of similar experiences?

Is the intention here to include flights which originate and terminate outside of the US but that fly in US airspace?
Also, what do others think? Ideally, when should this rule apply?

Thanks you for sharing your story and this information. If a total ban (airline and passenger) weren’t possible, what would the ideal policy you’d support as far as the airlines conduct is concerned?

Welcome to Regulation Room and thanks for your comment!

A great place to start on the site is to check out the “Site Tour” link at the top right-ish part of the page. There, you can find four short guide videos explaining our site and where we are in the rulemaking process. This morning Secretary LaHood announced the proposed rule, and Regulation Room went live to provide a forum for commenting on what has been proposed.

Also, would you care to elaborate on what you meant by airports and carriers working together to develop contingency plans for delayed flights stuck on the tarmac? The more information you provide, the more the other contributors can comment and join the discussion as well. Thanks!

Thanks for the data!

Thanks for all of the information regarding your experiences on JB and SW.

Can other contributors provide further details on this or on other airline’s policies?

Is JB the gold standard for their food allergen policies?

Should the rule be for peanuts, pinenuts, or what types of nuts?

Welcome to Regulation Room and thanks for your comment!
The sports arena information may be useful to other contributors as they continue to comment.
Given the concerns expressed regarding singling out allergic passengers, does anyone have a suggestion for the best way to inform passengers of the need to refrain from peanut consumption?
Should this be a part of the rule? Should it be up to the airlines? Should there be announcements to passengers? Should this be part of the rule?
Thoughts?

Welcome to Regulation Room, and thanks for sharing your experiences.

Please continue to comment on what you think the policies should be.

What does DOT have right? What should they rethink?

Email us regarding formatting issues here: regulationroom@cornell.edu. The more detail you can provide, the better chance they’ll be able to address a fix. Feedback only makes us stronger, so please do so!

Thanks for your comment as well.

Welcome to Regulation Room and thanks for the offer. We’re looking forward to your future thoughtful comments.

Welcome to Regulation Room, Stone and thanks for sharing your opinion?

Is the suggestion regarding typeface for pricing a suggestion for airline’s own sales of tickets or does this include all sales whether by airlines, travel agents, or other resellers?

What do others think?
