|  Uh oh Ok your sitting ready reserve and pick up a quick round at 0730. Your cruising at 30,001 ft and the flight attendent calls up and says that your aircraft JUST ran out of coffee. But they do have Kool Aid available but it would take 10 minutes to make... would you continue? Divert? what would you do? |

| Re: Uh oh Kool-Aid??????  What freakin airline uses Kool-Aid? The passengers would have to do without. Not having any coffee does not fall under emergencies or a valid reason to divert. I'll like to see the Captain explain that to the the chief pilot, HQ, and the FAA! It's the FA's job to make sure the required catering items are aboard prior to departure from the gate. |

| Re: Uh oh I'd be afraid to have the Kool-Aid because they probably wouldn't put enough sugar in it to cut back on costs. And they could avoid everyone being on a sugar high. But still, Kool-Aid on an airplane?? Some things I just don't understand....   |

 | Re: Uh oh I've actually seen a captain delay a SWA flight because they didn't have a working coffee pot. MX actually keeps those things on hand, too. I haven't seen the MEL, but I'd put money "coffee pot" is on there somewhere.... |
