Airplane coffee
I know there are a lot more important things to talk about so this thread is meant as a little bit of humor. UniCAL put out a press release today talking about the aligning of customer service initiatives and products.

One thing that caught my eye was this:
I just knew this was coming after the merger announcement. PMUA serves Starbucks coffee, correct? Now I suspect that Starbucks is not creating a "flavorful new custom blend" for the combined company. So my guess is $mi$ek sees this as an extravagance to be eliminated. Very similar to when CAL got rid of Timothy's coffee in favor of the current "custom blend" coffee that was named in an employee contest (i.e. Coast-to-Coast Roast or Coast-to-Coach Joke as I prefer to call it).
Again, we have bigger concerns, but we are talking coffee here. Changing it is almost as bad as having to go with the coffee makers on MEL. It's an essential item at times!
Anyone want to comment on what the new coffee will be called? Sarcastic comments, of course, are always appreciated and welcome.

United: Merger progress, but a long way to go

This line caught my eye. I didn't realize the combined company had over 1300 aircraft in the fleet!
