Ala carte Snacks begin June 1

[Jetsetter2Ord]

Ok, just was reading the outline stating the new ala carte snack program that begins June 1.

Snack Price
Maruchan Instant Lunch - Chicken $3
Mini-Oreo Cookies $3
Pringles Grab and Go - Original $3
Quaker Oatmeal Express - Golden Brown Sugar $3
Twizzlers - Strawberry $3
Planters Daybreak Blend Trail Mix - Apple Cinnamon $4
Blue Diamond Roasted Almonds - Salted $5

My question is WHY does this company set us up for failure and customer complaints by provisioning us with so little in quantity with a program that consumers will more then likely want to purchase.

On aircraft that have Ala Carte Carts the following provisioning:

34 Power-Nap Sacks
8 Oatmeal
8 Soup/Instant Lunch
8 Trail Mix
8 Twizzlers
8 Almonds
8 Mini-Oreos
8 Pringles

On aircraft with duffle bags or atlas carriers following provisioning:

4 Oatmeal
4 Soup/Instant Lunch
4 Trail Mix
4 Twizzlers
4 Almonds
4 Mini-Oreos
4 Pringles


I am curious to know how many FAs will actually bother to offer these snacks when you have a full flight with upto 150 passengers and have such low quantity of product??

I am glad to offer more items to the passengers, especially on long flights with no food, redeyes, and such. Not all pax will want to purchase the snacks. Look how great our Napsack is doing???! :blink:
I wish they would get new snacks for the F/C basket. Tired and old.
Don't fret the small stuff, we are experts on sales now!!! And at least they are getting FREE BEVS again, of course just a cup full!!

You are starting to sound like US1YFARE. The attitude is going south fast wrapped in a lol. PLEASE don't become that, Bob! It is very unattractive. Unfortunately, I saw it coming!

It is very unattractive.

You live in a fool's paradise.

I advocate not flying aircraft, think how we can keep cost down if we did that!
