Keep cutting, United, because distributing 344 pieces of halfway to hawaii paper per 777 must cut into the fuel budget.
could not have said it better. i hope the crews keep the tradition alive
in spite of management, which is fast becoming a general theme of this airline. does UA really need a corporate sponsor to give away a mai tai (which i'm sure is one of the next cuts) to the winner? sad.
