I do not think that airlines should be telling passengers that they can deplane from the aircraft if the door is open. This will create absolute chaos as people will be getting up and getting off if there is a short delay and may even interrupt a plane’s ability to get in line for takeoff if a takeoff slot suddenly becomes open. The operational headaches for the airline will be even worse because the airline would then have the responsibility to rebook these people. People just need to take a chill pill and sit in their seats with a good book. Maybe if the airline has sat at the gate for over 2hrs, some sort of announcement should be made, but not before.
I know that peanut allergies are a serious problem for some in our society, but I think DOT is on a slippery slope if it bans peanuts. I am allergic to tree nuts and I know others that are allergic to wheat or dairy, is the DOT going to ban those products as well? What if someone buys peanuts at the airport shop, how will the airlines police those peanuts. I do like the idea of using technology to attack the problem. It would seem easy for the airline to include as part of the buying process a drop down menu about being allergic to peanuts or wheat or something else.
