Default Pepsi

Well you can officially sounds the alarms. Ive always said the switch to Pepsi is the last straw before and airline goes bankrupt. This may not be the case for B6 but its a huge red flag. Theres tons of data to support this too.

That may be a little dramatic.

To make this kind of a change though we are talking about MILLIONS in cost savings.

Their spin that customers somehow want this though is complete hogwash.

It's scary that they need to do this... They are running out of things to cut and furniture to burn...

Next year they're switching to 7-11 brand soda... You know, because the customers have been "asking for this".

I’m sure there will be a lot of complaints from customers. Hopefully it gets reversed in not too long of a time.

Wait, you want to take the "Blue" OUT of the JB beverage experience?

Did this really deserve its own thread? Both products are poison and will kill you anyway.

Ill never forget my Fiscal professor saying when an airline switches to Pepsi all fiscal cuts have been exhausted. Look at the history. It doesn't bode well. It doesn't seem like much but its just as much physiological as it is finical. Just like how airlines, hotels, etc don't use 13. TWA did it right before bankruptcy in 86 i believe UAL did it 2002 after bankruptcy and it didn't work Branson and Virgin tried it and he admitted it was a failure. Northwest had Pepsi right before their merger. Alaska tried using Jones Soda and it was a failure. I may have wrote a case study about it. The findings were troubling. But what do I know Happy Jetting and Thanks for not Flying.....Jetblue.

Pepsi clogs the spray nozzles, dispersing the chemtrail inefficiently.
