Will you still need me? Will you still feed me?

United Airlines has decided to stop serving free food on its flights from Washington to Europe in Economy.

For me, this is the last staw! I don't think I will fly United Airlines any more! I just want to cash in the last of my miles -- and transfer my loyalty to another carrier. (Probably, my US carrier of choice will be Continental once it joins Star Alliance.)

I understand that United is faced with soaring fuel prices, but transatlantic routes have always tended to be profitable, and it just seems that United has forgotten that there are alternatives.

This change will become effective on October 1, 2008.
