US tells airlines they should provide peanut-free seating
Article Abstract:
The ten major US airlines have received a set of guidelines about the in-flight distribution of peanuts from the US Department of Transportation (DOT), including a proposal for a "peanut-free zone" on each plane. The DOT report, which was criticized by the Air Transport Association as unnecessary, cited the authority of the 1986 Air Carrier Access Act as a basis for the guidelines' provisions. Industry analysts have said that the airlines are confused about the method for implementing the DOT guidelines on peanut distribution.

Reno Air, despite turnaround, is looking for partner; small carrier says it can't go it alone against resurgence of bigger rivals
Article Abstract:
Reno Air's bottom line hasn't looked so good in quite a while, but a stronger partner would make it even better. American Airlines would be a desirable airline to partner with, but the pilot's union would have to be won over with contract stipulations. Reno cut costs, grounded three planes, retrained reservationists, shifted its focus from leisure travelers to business travelers, and improved earnings, all in six months. Now it wants to stay in the running.
