I always appreciated that Southwest did not bother with it.
Probably another move management made to try to satisfy Elliott Activist Investor group.
They already used paper cups for coffee; are they just using the same cup for all drinks now? I wish they'd go back to just handing out full bottles/cans and ditch the ice and cup completely.
Yes, they are using the paper cups for all drinks. I agree that I would prefer it if they just gave complete cans. On a lot of other airlines, when I ask for the drink with no ice, they just give me the full can (often unopened), but on Southwest they always seem to use a cup and now they use paper cups instead of plastic ones.
