Cranky Flier thinks United’s decision to reverse course on eliminating complimentary coach meal service to and from Dulles across the Atlantic was driven by Lufthansa…
Remember, Lufthansa and United have a revenue sharing agreement that makes them very tight partners on North Atlantic flying. Anything United does has the distinct possibility of significantly impacting Lufthansa’s revenue. Something tells me that charging for meals crossed the line here.Seems plausible. Likely, even…Is it really possible that United didn’t bother to discuss this with Lufthansa beforehand? If so, I’d think some heads might roll over this. They’re trying to spin this change in a positive light, but it really points to a management team that pulled the trigger on something major before properly vetting it.

Boy, this sounds familiar….Sarah Palin anyone?
