If price is an indication of quality, we're looking at drinks that will be crappier, and by a healthy margin, than what even DL serves.
Never let it be said that United is slavishly following the Delta playbook. When it comes to degrading the quality of the services it offers, the UC takes a back seat to no one.
Some family members of mine have a beverage ID number for their business. I know exactly how much wine and spirits cost. The volume discount UA would receive would be substantial.
This "nickel and diming" of customer service offerings and abundance of credit card perk idiocy just goes to show that UA management are more interested in their bonuses. But, that's what happens when you sell yourself to Wall Street as a publicly traded company. It's pretty pathetic and I am glad that I am not the one in charge. UA is a customer oriented business.
