A couple of question here:

1. For the 6 additional J pax, were they op-up, e-up, or bumped from J on another flight?

2. Did the original 24 J pax got the 600 mL bottle, and the 6 additional J pax got the 330 mL bottle?

Individual flight attendants are indeed certified for specific types of aircraft, and while each member of the crew that operated your aircraft was certified for the type of aircraft you were on, it has nothing to do with the livery of the aircraft.

Also, it doesn't matter what flights a flight attendant usually operates as this thread is referring to domestic flights and domestic flights are supposed to only include an option of bottled water vs bottled water.

I don't think its on the face an absurd theory, if its invalid, so be it.

Invalid theory or not, the flight this morning seemed to have the option of glasses of water or glasses of water. Perhaps the SD got only half the message.

Huge, girthy 1 Litre Naya bottle!

Everyone in J on 182 last night received a huge, girthy 1 Litre Naya bottle.
Some people couldn't grip or lift it with one hand so watching them drink from it was a bit comical.

Mix of sizes on AC824 earlier this week. Some people got the small 330 mL Naya bottle while some others lucked out with a 600 mL bottle! They seemed to be randomly distributed in the cabin, I can't even imagine how this happened! Who writes the SOPs at AC?

They hired co-op students to do Costco runs, but the students keep on screwing up the requirements. It's ok, they will soon be promoted to C level due to their smooth talking skills.
