Idiots is right. Why would someone chose United over other carriers now. These flights leave before dinner time. What an excellent way to drive peole away from flying them period. On westbounds, United is asking to buy or skip two meals. What if they run out of food on a 8 hr flight? How unpleasant is that? If you are connecting from other cities you probably barely managed to squeeze in a bagel and a coffee prior to flying on Yonited. Good job.
