I hope that US management will not follow UA in this ............

Customers in UB will receive complimentary beverages and BOB offering.

Staffing will be adjusted to FAA minimums.

Buy on Board Offered Out of IAD, ORD to Europe

Replacing complimentary meals in UE with BOB fresh and snack box
offerings.

Economy staffing breakpoints for all aircraft will be adjusted to current
North America BOB staffing guidelines.

Eliminate Second Service in p.s. Market

Removing the pre-arrival snack service and replacing with a beverage service
in response to flight attendant and customer feedback.

I am sure this is being discussed in the executive boardroom at 111 W. Rio Salado Parkway as I type this.

Delta already anounced that they are looking at charging $20-$25 a meal on their TA flights.

For that price it had better be gourmet!

Some of the restaurants in the markets that US serves do not even have menu items that expensive.

Read it about 2-3 weeks ago. Tried to find it but don't remimber where.
The Delta person quoted said it would be restaurant quality food.
They are just studying it.


Seems like these days though the wife and I cannot even get average bar/chain food for less $20 each. And for something decent more like $30.

Charging $50.00 for the second bag is lunacy!

I can only hope DAL management comes to its senses and sees the error in its ways to even consider charging our customers $20-30 for airline food, restaurant quality or not!

You'll get no argument from me there.

Where UA/US and Lufthansa fly-take Lufthansa!
Where UA/US and Air France fly-take Air France!
Where UA/US and Swiss fly-by golly take Swiss!
When people actually start deserting US in droves
for better foreign carriers the sand castle will only
notice declining revenues and maybe get some clue.
