Just for you US1YFARE!

It had be be full...how else could they stand drinking the crap they are tasting? Oh, and as for your thread title, I think they took a step too far--the old wines tasted like they fermented the wine in an ashtray.

nice closing quote.

I'm surprised Tempe let her talk to the press.

Are you honestly surprised?

And they wonder why we are not considered in the big leagues anymore?

Well I'll guarantee that soon we'll have someone post the dreaded "You people are never happy" comment. Well they're right. This airline as usual is doing things half@ssed. If you are using Fosters to help select wines for Envoy which consists of oh say 20 flights why wouldn't you use them to upgrade this gut wrenching domestic wine? I don't care how you cut it wine is NOT to be served in a plastic cup. PERIOD. It is just AMAZING how that is overlooked and you get the run around from "ask inflight". So again, "Where is the glssware"? People DO pay for first class on domestic and thus the wine should be upgraded there along with real glass stemware to drink it out of. 🙄

"The participants ranged from a marketing department employee who heads a popular Phoenix wine club to to a neophyte who jokingly described herself as a Boone's Farm girl. "

I have learned to stop saying "it just can't get any worse" because invariably I am proven wrong time and again.

Really.

If the IT problems ever get resolved, will Joe Beery say to the media “Yeah, now that I have a few bucks to play with I was able to fix that crap websiteâ€￾

Will Robert Ciminelli hold a press conference and state “We finally have that overflowing craphole in PHL mopped upâ€￾

Do they not realize how stupid this stuff makes not just the company but every employee look? They really are like Britney Spears in that they've crossed the line from funny to absolutely pathetic. Both need to just go away.

"The participants ranged from a marketing department employee who heads a popular Phoenix wine club to to a neophyte who jokingly described herself as a Boone's Farm girl. "

Perhaps they will offer a "Boone's Farm Collection" kinda like the International House of Pancakes does with syrup. "Country Kwencher, Sun Peak Peach, Orange Hurricane, Wild Island, and Blue Hawaiian."

The experts have spoken...

"I love Wild Island! It tastes like alcoholic bubble gum"

"I love Boone's Farm cause it gets you drunk and then you can make bad decisions and wake up with a headache."

"Boone's Farm may not be the cheapest way to get drunk but it is certainly the best."


Just place your order with the babe in the skort. 😱 😛

"Everyone has tried to raise the bar," she said. "Everybody has kind of said, "Oh my gosh, we have a teeny bit more money, we can offer our consumers a great glass of wine instead of a crap class of wine.' "

Makes me so gosh darn proud to say I work for USAirways.

Too Funny. I didn't know Sherry drank wine! Well, "Wild Vines", but ... OK. I guess that's wine. SPECIAL REPORT: Blackberry-Merlot now in US Airways Busy-ness Klass to U-rope!

Maybe she did swallow instead of spit...her glasses are looking crooked.

 

[N903AW]

The resemblance is uncanny!

Up until today I pretty much knew that every one in the Tempe Sandcastle was clueless, but this bunch of bull makes it so much more evident. I mean really, who in the he** is running this place? Just when I think it can't get worse, crap like this hits the papers. I realize this wine tasting isn't a huge deal, but WTF? Hello? OTP is in the crapper, you have labor contracts galore that remain unsettled, IT issues with everything from the kiosks to the website, PHL is a mess, well this whole "airline" is a mess but we can have wine tastings? :rant: OMFG! I am so pissed off about this, and I shouldn't be because it really is same sh!t different day. C'mon a "teeny bit of extra money"? They have a million and one things they should be fixing and the da*n wine is the least of our problems. :angry2:


N903AW- LOL it is a little uncanny, but the hairdo only.

Excuse me, Ms. Shambles, Julia called she wants her wig back.

IMO this article just shows how pathetic they really are. Why? CO talks about their sommelier all the time? AA loves to brag about its wine. What does Tempe do? They say, gosh we know we serve CRAP (their words not mine) so we are going to give you something that is still cheap but you can buy it in the store because what we serve now is so bad, you can only find it in commercial places who don't care about their customers. All this article does is show how much they really suck and that they realize they suck. Why would anyone adnit that they serve crap??? They used they word crappy!!! It is as if they read my posts about them being a craphole airline. they are a train wreck. They acknowledge that that their FF's are not happy because of service. If these people can scrape enough money together to improve inflight to a competitive level, then they shouldn't be running the company. And what about the host of other problems? Stop putting on generic band-aids that don't work and start doing some real hard work and resolve problems. Or, are you keeping it together just enough (barely) hoping that a merger will save the day and you can bail out?
