You heard it here first: US Airways plans to reverse its decision to charge for soft drinks, water and coffee.
The airline plans to tell employees tomorrow and announce it publicly Monday, I'm told. They will go back to being free on March 1.
The airline, the most aggressive on the fee front, has repeatedly said the charges for soft drinks haven't been a big money raiser.
But they said have made the aisles less clogged and let flight attendants provide better service. Still, it is the only major airline charging for non-alcoholic beverages and flight attendants were never thrilled with the idea.
Last year, the Tempe airline reversed its controversial decision to eliminat bonus mileage for frequent fliers after no peers matched.
Stay tuned for more info.
It's a rumor, but maybe its true.
