If cost-cutting riles you up, follow the money and start looking at the payoffs to executives -- forget about the <$1MM saved on dropping pretzels, look at the $12MM being paid to 23 US executives just to go away. I'm all for people being paid what they're worth but why give an average of ~$500k per person that drove the company to Chp 11? This is just the first wave; there will be more.

So you know, pretzels are returning. Recently, Parker made the decision, which I think is a pretty good one.

US is (was) an airline trying to cut losses in excess of $300 million/year, and is trying to save $1 million in pretzels costs? Get real.
