I don't know any airline that does this -- even Ryanair allows you to bring nourishment (except hot beverages, which maybe isn't a bad idea -- I had a guy spill a coffee on me while boarding a CO flight last year). Is it good to have dehydrated pax? I guess you just have to have the mindset that you'll be buying a couple $2 sodas on your way to Bellingham. And no doubt pax will occasionally be screwed by the no telephone and limied gate agent policies -- like every time something goes wrong with your flight. I pity the fool who's booked on SkyBus during a snowstorm.
