Bye Bye Snacks
 

http://www.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/05/28....ap/index.html

U.S Airways will stop serving those crappy snacks in coach starting june 1st.

Its a must with fuel prices the way they are, but unfortunatly its just a continuation of the "downward spiral" :cool:

I believe Frontier Airlines has stopped free snacks as well. You can buy some for $3.00 though.

I think AA is the same...

in all fairness, since 9/11, any passenger not in 1st or business class who relies on the airline to feed him/her...

wake up, people! if you want to pay peanuts for your ticket, you're not going to get any on your trip!!!

Hell, if this keeps up, in a few more years they probably shouldn't expect to have an English-speaking flight crew, either. Oberstar, Prater, and management will see to that.

They should just remove the galleys and replace them with vending machines.:D

I'm thinking pay toilets. Talking about a captive audience:rolleyes:

So what are the FAs going to do now, charm us with their smiles? They don't even do that anymore...........

have you noticed that SWA is running their commercials from a year or two ago...they were supposed to be a spoof on the airlines cutting service and charging for everything...including toilets! brilliant! :cool:

What you really mean is "charm us with their dentures"..........oh, I love (NOT) what has become of aviation industry in this country....trully pathetic and sad.

After the the same or worse pay cuts that you have endured, why should they?

Nothing! Don't you listen to their pathetic safety announcements where they tell you over and over that the "PRIMARY REASON WE ARE HERE IS FOR YOUR SAFETY!" :rolleyes:

Oddly enough, I never hear that comment in the announcements I hear on foreign airlines. :confused:

wise crack alert
 

Thats because since there is no more service so they have to do something
And you will not hear that on foreign flag carriers either !
So sad that they are concerned enough to do away with a fifty cent bag of peanuts wow!
Race to the bottom anyone ?:rolleyes:



Heard the sound of thunder how far off I sat and wondered .

P.S its getting closer lol

I have a solution for better security, as well as increasing revenue:

1. Passengers must go through TSA screening naked.

2. Airlines can sell overpriced bathrobes in flight.


Problem solved!

Actually, have you ever been on an SWA 5 legger on the same plane? I've been put on a couple of those at the last minute and if it wasn't for snack boxes and water, I would have starved. :(

now everyone can start playing the air violin!

It is the airlines way to slowly adjust the pax to the new generation of flying, price of the ticket gets you a seat and nothing more.

In my opinion it is about time people stop expecting 5 star treatment on a $99 coach fare from Dallas to Chicago. If you want the food and drink by a first class ticket, no money? Welcome to the club.

Yeah I know but it sucks for those of us who know what travelling by air used to be like and its discouraging to say the least that it has ended up this way but all good things must come to an end as i have been told countless times :(

Especially the old hags at US Airways, never have I seen a more unpleasent (and old) group of FAs in my life. On a recent flight I asked for a drink (wich I paid 5$ for) and the FA actually said out loud that the only reason she got up from her seat was becouse I disturbed her for it! (5$ and a snappy comment!), the service standards of US airlines just keep on falling. Although I think the problem is more of a US Air east attitude, on a Cactus flight the FAs were very nice.

In contrast on European flights on BA and Swiss all the FAs were in their 20s to mid 30s, beautifull and always smiled, I fell in love with a Swiss FA, looked like a model and actually had a conversation with me and laughed, being an FA used to be a job that young girls would take to explore the world and then move on, ever since it became a carrer it has been a disaster. But if you point that out then the PC police is all over you for age discrimination.

Well, THAT's gonna save the airline... hahhaha!

Seriously, what are the pilots gonna eat now??

And they made fun of foreign carriers for charging fees for bags, priority boarding, and food.

Must be a US East thing!

I was aboard a cactus flight today with an absolutely stunning young blonde FA. She was very flirtatious, too! :D

Yep!

I used to work for Cactus, best callsign ever, I had to leave because of said FA's...

FedEx is the best thing to happen to me... mostly a bunch of dudes flying at 3 am.....priceless! :D
