I really like Shery Groff's comment. "you can always pull an aditional Flight attendant from First Class". What addtional F/A does she mean???? All I can say, is that I would hate to have to use hand held computers to generate the sales of these BOB delectables. Not to stray to far from the topic, but this is something that has been bothering me. Just this last trip, I had 35 pax's going from CLT to ILM. They are a Travel Group who has been flying on USAirways since the '80's with their group. Most are retirees. They just came from Rome on us. Their Pres. of the group really seemed to know alot about our Airline. They were great F/C pax/s as well as Coach. They have 4 more trips planned overseas on US.
They were really put out that we were charging for drinks on overseas flights and commented that all of them had sent e-mails all ready to Dave. They would prefer an extra few buck added to their ticket instead.
I commented on this to a fellow F/A and her comment was "All of the other airlines do this, we are the last."
So to pull these 2 topics together, I guess my question is "Why do we have to do everything like all of the other airlines"?????
It seems anymore we just copy what everyone else is doing without regard for remaining "Unique". We use to offer an airline which set it's self apart from the mainstream, which generated loyalty from PAX's. There is no creativity or nuance left with in this Management or Airline as I see it. When asked "why are we doing this". ANSWER....because everyone else is!
Also, as of this week they are laying off the people who brought in the envelope with the money for us to sign off on. Now, it supposedly will be sealed and preboarded along with the meals.
The whole thing is a bid joke and a rip-off of the pax's money. Everyone is trying to sell a Brand and the food sucks. Many Pax's complain. Just MOHO :down:
