This liquor program must stand or fall on it's own and I don't anticipate they would ever sell enough to make up for the difference in what they would end up giving away. Most people aren't going to be inclined to pay $6 for a vodka when they can have a free glass of a premium beer or wine. That's just my thought though.
I'd imagine on the longer flights, they might sell a couple... wish they used northwest liquors though...
