Are you saying I can't take any of that to work? Ever.
Not at all! What I'm saying is that if, as on my last oceanic Delta flight, the airline wants to take precautions and try (emphasis on "try") and make the flight as nut free as possible because of a highly allergic passenger, then I don't expect you as Captain to throw your toys out of your pram. Instead, throw away your peanut sarnies and lift something off the trolley. It's not that hard is it? Certainly doesn't need your, frankly, rather questionable attitude regarding the issue. As I have said before, the majority of sufferers don't have a problem being in proximity of peanuts, they just can't eat them. When, however, one of the relatively small minority who is highly contagious is on board, I applaud an airline who will do their utmost to accommodate them. Yes, I agree with HeartyMeatballs that there's no 100% guarantee but at least an effort is being made.
