I think it's on page 1.

I don't think there's anyone at Willis Tower who can convince to Kirby spending more on catering will generate more net profit (or at worst, be net-profit-neutral). Unfortunately, I think he's extended some cost-cutting to the Polaris Lounge buffets. Also, waits caused by slow service in the sit-down areas are an indirect way to reduce costs (ie force people to eat from the lower-cost buffet).

Still, (beyond in-flight food issues) UA gets me conveniently where I need to go comfortably.
