Okay, so not really Houston related...Maybe United is listening?! Who wants a free 'stroopwafel' on their morning flight? Maybe they will keep listening and give us Continental back?

Friend of my is a pilot at united. They are giving out a nice bonus this year and might get a new contract for the pilots. He can't remember the last time it was this good.

sweet. I got tired of purchasing Tapas for $9 and it tasted horrible. I prefer peanut and cookies over anything esp when the flight attendant is a good mood and gives you more than one.. yummy.

Ha... Tapas on a United flight?

Maybe he/she gives out two of one item because they can't sell/get rid of them?

I must say though, I've used their Business Class several times to Germany, they do have some good stuff at times. There was this one guy who was pretty good with wine selections, and I always liked the wine choices from France when flying back to Houston.

It's a tapas snack box. It's got meat, olives, cheese, and maybe crackers. They have three different ones.

Yes, I recall getting it once, in First Class domestic at that. My wife is from Spain... that is why the chuckle.

I think at this point upper management knows how unhappy employees are, and just how bad the merger has gone. So it's time to sweeten the pot.
