Comments on: Peanuts and pets at altitude http://debralegg.com/2009/05/29/peanuts-and-pets-at-altitude/ 9to5to9: A working mom's mad adventures in boy land Wed, 14 Jul 2010 12:41:33 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Debra http://debralegg.com/2009/05/29/peanuts-and-pets-at-altitude/#comment-6180 Debra Sat, 30 May 2009 19:31:49 +0000 http://debralegg.com/?p=6221#comment-6180 Yeah, that comment was one of the extreme examples of the lengths people on both sides were going to to defend their positions. They couldn't rely on facts alone - they had to start insulting each other. I don't get why that happens. OK, well I do get why it happens but adults should be able to rise above it. Maybe I just have an allergy to playground taunts. I'll see if my doctor can test me for it. And I agree - anyone with chronic allergies <em>will</em> suffer from pets in an airplane cabin. It's one thing for me to put up with it, because I'm usually traveling for leisure. I feel sorry for folks who are flying for business and arrive all bleary-eyed and red-nosed.

My husband has chronic allergies, and having pets of any sort in the cabin would make traveling much more difficult for him. Boo for Southwest Airlines!
