I've heard of "lowering overhead", but this is rediculous.
RBCS News Brief
Southwest Airlines plans to cut out lemons in an effort to hold down costs, according to WLS-TV in Chicago.
Starting Oct. 1, the airline no longer will offer lemons as part of its beverage service, the TV station reported. The company hopes to save $100,000 a year by eliminating lemons.
Southwest will continue to serve limes, which officials say passengers prefer over lemons.
American Airlines recently cut olives out of its salads in a move designed to save $40,000 a year, WLS reported.
Someone please tell me this story is fake and I have just been punked. How do I even begin to explain my feelings on this report. I just flew cross country with my girlfriend about a month ago. First of all, there wasn't one empty seat on any flight we took. The airline itself changed my booking from a non stop to a layover, and all four flights in total were completely filled. After paying about $220 each ticket, you know what I got? a few cookies and some sippie cups full of beverage. (by the way, there were no lemons in my sprite, so I guess other airlines have beaten Southwest to the punch here).
Thankfully, this is the only flight I will have to take this entire year. Between the seats being too small and too close to each other, and constant concerns over flights being on time, and also racing from one terminal to the other during a layover I didn't even ask for, I was ready to kill myself. For God sakes, the "Flight Attendants" don't even look like the "Flight Attendants" I remember them being in the old days, both in movies and in real life. I think one flight I was on had more males then females working them. What is this world coming to?.
You know what? I think its time for a change. If these Airlines are all still struggling so much, and they refuse to lower costs, then maybe they should consider treating it like its a "Hooters" franchise.......yeah I said it.....Sexist or not, hot women sell. Cut out the dudes, and cut out some of the material in the "Flight Attendants" clothing. Maybe then flying won't be so miserable.
Otherwise, let the whole industry crumble for all I care. I don't think the economy can get any worse anyway, and they have this invention called a phone, so I can call my relatives. And they got this thing called a car, so I can drive If I want.
Maybe if the industry completely folds, some other billionaires and multi millionaires (there are still plenty out there) will step up and purchase some new airline companies rather then buy the stinking New Jersey Nets and build a 1.1 billion dollar stadium for the Cowboys to play in (by the way, go Giants....Cowboys suck)
I personally recommend Mark Cuban as a candidate to buy an airline. I love the guy. And I think he would take the business seriously, because he cares about what he owns, and cares about the people who buy into his product.
What would you recommend? Comment and let me know.
