USA Today reports that “beginning June 9, [Northwest Airlines] coach passengers who want anything other than soda will have to pay for it. They can get a 3-ounce bag of trail mix for $1.” This is obviously an addition to the existing policy of not offering free meals anymore, which has been in place since February.
I understand that NWA is in dire financial straits and will save some money ($2 million seems exaggerated, but whatever) with this move, but this is just ludicrous. I hope that whatever savings are realized by this policy are not enough to make up for all of the people (myself, for one) that abandon NWA over this…
