But I don't think the post is stupid. Why is it stupid to speculate about whether CO's providing free meals in coach is a good marketing decision but not stupid to speculate about other decisions like AVOD or whether seats slide or not etc? It is reasonable question -- if people complain about coach meals and it is possible that by charging more CO could offer higher quality meals, then that might be a good idea. I don't see why it is stupid to have a discussion about whether free meals is a good or bad thing but not stupid to discuss whether having or not having E+ is a good or bad thing. Meals are part of the inflight experience and it is reasonable to discuss whether having free ones of a quality that sometimes is not so great is the best strategy for CO.
You got me Wrong.
K.M.A. in their 1st post on this thread presented very good reasons against Cals. And how if those who dont like it can bring their own on board, but that there are plenty of people out there who dont mind or even like what is served and they dont want to be forced to have to buy food, when they are already doing that with the fare that they paid.
I have no problems with the topic, but I do disagree with Cal P and prefer not to have to bring my own , nor will my special food be offered for sale.
So Im for leaving the Meals as is, or better yet going back to Special Meals on all flights where any type of meal is served. And let those who dont care for them either to bring on their own or have CO offer something for sale w/o removing the Meals as we know them now.
just as if a person wants Live TV they better fly JetBlue, XM radio fly AirTran. No need to rid CO of the lousy Entertainment they offer now. doesnt JB offer movies for sale? Theres never gonna be 1 Carrier that offers everything to everyone
