I can't believe nobody's said "You can't save $2 billion" yet.

Hilarious if true. As someone mentioned, yet another pennywise, dollar poor decision. The long, painful decline continues.
I mean, this is Bailey's we're talking about. It's not some expensive bottle like JW Blue or something similar.

On my UX flight earlier this year, aboard a Q-400, I discovered that the standard issue is one Bailey's per beverage cart. Actually the liquor appeared to come out of a small soft side carry on bag.
No doubles on UX!

I don't drink so I welcome this change!!! Now United will have more resources to spend on ME! ^^^
I'm quite confident that United will use the savings from this to improve the food offerings. Reinstate blankets. Fix the wi-fi. And provide a baby unicorn to each F passenger.
Hopefully this is just the beginning -- imagine how much more they could save by totally eliminating alcohol? Unicorns for ALL passengers!
(Yes, I'm being sarcastic. But I've read far to much crap like this over the past 25 months.... I guess it was my turn!)

As UAInsider confirmed there are no plans to remove Bailey's, I will close this.
