In all fairness, if memory serves, I think this program was another victim of 911

Not to be cyncial, but mid-lavs were a victim of 9/11 the same way pillows and blankets were a victim of H1N1...
Never underestimate the value of a good cover story... Believe me, we FA's love them just as much as PAX (especially when we are PAX). They make our job easier and our service more efficient. I wish all 800's had them but they don't make as much money as the version without. Easy decision to make. |

Kind of stretch comparing the long battle of attrition that resulted in removal of amenities to a one time event that, in a single day, body slammed the entire airline industry and many other industries for years to come. 911 resulted in a bit more of a scramble to stop hemorrhaging.

Similarly, years after anyone has even thought about swine flu, there will be no pillows and blankets. Because there is a real crisis with real consequences is precisely why it's a good cover story... |
