Illy coffee being served on all United flights beginning in 2016! :)

Did you, or any one else, catch the article about how and why this change is taking place?
United Airlines' big coffee review comes after a questionable decision years ago - Chicago Business Journal This is a view of how this whole "merger" was done (after the fact). It was never about making a "better" product by combining the "best" of both airlines. It was always about benefitting a small group of elite people at the top. Not to place blame on just the lCAL side; the lUAL group cashed out and left. They could care less about the outcome or future of UAL, the deal was done. Now let's pick up the pieces and move on! It is also a good example on how once bridges are burned they had very hard to rebuild. Notice Starbucks was not in the mix to return their coffee to UAL. |
Interesting, el jeffe even managed to **** that up to.

Besides getting the fleet repainted fairly quickly, and buying us (largely worthless for the first 2-3 years) ipads, did he do anything that wasn't detrimental to the brand, to the employees or the pax? Just scratching my head.

Anybody out there potty training kids? Tell them to use the word "Smisek" when they have to go. |
Roger that, I will be asking my toddler if she needs to take a "smisek". :)

Dunkin is better. The northeast crowd would go nuts if we started carrying that. Oscar? You listening? :D

Only if you're from the NE. I was born there but quickly realized Dunkin wasn't all that as soon as I went to college in the South. I'd now drive 5 miles past a Dunkin to hit a Starbucks. And there a MANY better donut shops and local bakeries.
