I can't answer that one. I'm one of those "don't work for US anymore but still care about the company and hate to see that it's stooped so low that it's serving cheese whiz in F" people.

LOL, I remember telling n00b FAs to make sure they stop by the currency exchange place for some Puerto Rican pesos for their RON.
Now, I will say that I practically went to the mat with a passport control hag who had a striking resemblance to Lotte Lenya's character Rosa Klebb in "From Russia With Love" over whether a U.S. citizen (me) had to have a passport to leave SJU to fly back to CLT. She apparently decided that it was the day for sandy-haired, green-eyed WASP males from NC to need passports, because she didn't even flinch when my wife went through three seconds before me with the same docs.

Does anybody really care about these trip reports. There are a lot more important things going on then whether you got ham and cheese wiz......give me a break.

LOL!!!!
Actually, I think that a thread dedicated to ham & Cheez Whiz in F (with Two Buck Chuck in a plastic cup) is very telling. Hey, if it's a 3 hour flight, at least the F pax were served something more than just a snack basket.
I disagree completely.
I'm not sure of your job function at US, or whether you're a customer, or what.
Cheez whiz matters to the people who pay for tickets. That ticket revenue is used to pay salaries. No revenue = no salary. So if Cheez whiz doesn't touch your area of job responsibility, or if you don't interact with customers on a daily basis, don't discount it out-of-hand.
Cheez Whiz could be the poster child for the "New US Airways." It about sums up the state of things today.

If I remember rigiht, after Elwood picked up Jake at Joliet, when they got back to the flophouse one of the guys said.
'Got my Cheez Whiz, boy?'
Flophouse First Class.

It really is sad. Since I've switched to CO, I've been paying for first because upgrades are very limited in popular markets, AND many of these planes actually have 24 - 30 FC seats. It is worth every penny... When I first started flying US years ago, I always paid for FC too - until the experience degraded to nothing but a bigger dirty seat.
Last year, I was flying Air Tran a lot, and their FC product is actually better than US - and the pricing makes sense too. Im not being sarcastic. The seats are more comfortable, their snack basket actually has good selections and they give you XM radio...
Look, US can degrade this product all they want, but they are doing a HUGE disservice by charging FC prices for this class of service. If a coach ticket is $300 - the FC should be $400 - NOT $800. Change the name to "Better Class" and charge $100 for the upgrade.

I know Puerto Rico is a territory--heck so is American Somolia and it's international if you want to travel there because it is outside Continental US. Sooooo the real meaning at US is if it's booked in international then it's an international flight. Or it used to be -- smart b!!!. Also know passports are not needed to PR, but if you're from PR you have to book international---????

You know you can edit your own posts, right? It are a fact.
Also Cheez Whiz is the US Airways of condiments. If we're going to get classy we have to go all out. We have to Grey Poupon first class. Grey Poupon all our first class passengers. Getting Poupon customers should be what US does best.
Now that's funny right there...
A little double entendre to start my morning.
Thanks
