Hmmm. As someone who's been to several UA sponsored food events in Chicago, I truly hope that many of the UA food service and in-flight management people also stay around. They have great attitudes, really seem to care about what they're doing, and although they didn't exactly say so it was clear that many things they'd like to do were not possible due to budgetary constraints and other issues.
A sample discussion we had revolved around the great "cake in F" debacle, and they admitted that when the sample the cake it was very positively received, what they were serving up did not resemble the samples they'd seen, they knew about the very strong negative reaction and were taking action. Very shortly thereafter the cake disappeared.
