The no magazine krap is a lousy excuse... with the adverts that they wrap them with, i really wonder how much it costs....
Wrong. It is the AMERICAN majors that cut out free alcohol, not the European majors. With the carriers on this side of the pond in a race to see who can provide the crappiest service, is it any wonder that many of the European carriers (like AF which had a profit of about $450 milliion in the year ending March 31, 2005) are profitable while US-based carrriers are bleeding red ink?
