I am crying my eyes out right now. My daughter has life threatening peanut allergy and we now have to cancel our purchased tickets to visit her grandparents for spring break because she could die. All I can say is I am a moderate, I would never have asked for people to not bring their peanuts on to the airplane, however asking that the airline not to give out 300 bags of peanuts on the same flight as my daughter makes it "reasonable". Not now thought, as even if the airline doesn't give out the peanuts on our "flight" many of the passengers may be quite angry, thus hurting my life long cause of education of food allergy. This is raw pain, and perhaps tomorrow I will feel better, but this is truly crushing. Not that our trip will be cancelled and we will not be able to afford last minute tickets on another airline, but that our cause takes such a hit by this choice, and I fear for the thousands of peanut allergic children and adults that don't know they have this terrible allergy and end up on one of your flights. We have always flown Southwest, all members of our family, and I wish you luck, but this choice has done more harm than you will ever know.
