Default 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"

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

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.

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