<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Paul and the list, I find Paul's mail quite odd. Delta have a responsibility as prime contractor to ensure their subcontractors supply the food which you have agreed a contract for. The point is that they regularly fail to do so. My wife and I are starting here in the UK to use legislation (the Disability Discrimination Act) to enforce her rights to be given equally favourable treatment as non-coeliacs. This is a discrimination issue and should be dealt with as such. I am sick and tired of groups saying (often very rudely) that OF COURSE they can organise GF meals then failing and saying something in the line of "Can't you TAKE something for it?". If coeliacs don't take the discrimination line and shout from the rooftops about it, all that will happen is that nothing will happen (a guaranteed Irishism this!). Why should the mental laziness of airlines/hotels/restaurants etc be allowed to mess up the lives of my (much loved) wife and all you others! I sit here spitting blood (Karin got another dose recently while on a conference which "of course" could produce GF meals, *and* wouldn't let her discuss her diet before hand with the chef!)
