I talked to Ron Beentoldshiet today and he assured me the LAX base was a done deal. A new hangar is coming up to be named "The Bob" and will be a major hub for the upcoming 737 Max 8's that are coming.
Also, an in depth passenger survey has been completed and the snack boxes are being updated. The Wheat Thins are being replaced by animal cookies and the smoked cheese in the cheese plates are being replaced by Munster. Look for the wet nap to be reintroduced to the boxes as well.
I wish I had more to report but Ron was in a rush. The large woman who drives the super shuttle in IAH was threatening to leave him at the curb.
