I too happen to 'selectively' like some of the meals CO serves, in fact one of my favorites is the cheese omlete in F with ham slice (I sometimes even eat that potatoe vegetable thingy . A couple of times, I've thought about asking for another helping, but didn't have the nerve to ask.

CO serves meals in Y - not just F. It's what the airline is known for. The Y sandwich might be a little small, but it beats the pants off any other airline's non-existent free food and even betters some carriers's paid offerings.

You heard it here first!!!
After Kellner leaves(PS he was shown the door),the meals at mealtime program will be kaput.

B.O.B will be the new order.

Pillows and blankets will be offered for sale (Swine flu protection)

If this is true.

So now CO will be like every other airline and nickle and dime everyone for everything.

I never use the blankets and pillows, I bring my own but I use the pillow for back or butt cushions when flying :-:

It's not true - perhaps it was posted in jest. Don't panic

This board is for people who fly or have questions about CO. You don't fly them so perhaps you shouldn't post here. Didn't you mother ever teach you that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all?

I dunno about that.

The DL EATS menu is pretty decent, as is your beloved UA's Choice Menu.

Just a rumor for now.

I've heard this as well but not because of Swine Flu protection. It has been said that most people bring their own neck pillow. And it takes us much longer to clean a plane when we have to fold blankets and re-stock the pillows.

Although I have suspected for a while we will start selling meals, I heard today about the selling of the pillow and blankets

^^ The tomato soup is one of my all time favorites. Combined with a Y turkey sandwich sounds awesome.

Little by little, CO is turning into Southwest Airlines! Next they will turn to open seating in Y.

Doesn't matter how they spin it, it's a cut nonetheless.

That said, I haven't used CO's pillows since H1N1.
