Yes, but this could be priced into the ticket price, plus an extra premium for the shareholders' profit, and everyone wins. I find it regrettable that while our hard product in F for short hauls is much better than our European friends' hard product in J, our soft product is the exact opposite and lags by a lot. BA and AF are outstanding in J for short hauls. We should dominate European carriers in both hard and soft product.
What I am proposing is a different business model for UA: better meals for higher prices and higher profits. (And while we're at it, priority boarding for F before group 1, but this has been discussed elsewhere.)
