AA 1645 RDU-ORD S80 0755-0905
No Pre-Departure Drink
Only choice. This route used to get cereal with the fruit. Also that yogurt in the cup is the most tasteless awful thing ever. Breads offered were wheat bagels, muffins and croissants.

AA 1342 ORD-DCA 737-800 1050-1345
No Pre-Departure Drink
Beer options of Miller Lite, Heinekin or Corona still suck
Personally I found the sandwich alright if a bit small. Not terrible for a 90 minute flight, though definitely a downgrade from what used to be on offer. I might add that the F/As never offered wine or water so I don't know why I have a water glass

DFW-EWR
Departed 11:40 (today anyway...on 10/9 it was 2:15 due to late arriving crew due to 'mechanical' issues earlier that morning)
Same meal choice-beef filet or Mediterranean Chicken Salad (having had both now, I think I prefer the filet, actually).
No PDB today
Scalding hot nuts in ramekins today
Oatmeal cranberry cookie on 10/9 (not that I got it since I was in the lav when they were passed out) & oatmeal raisin today.
No mints prior to landing on either flight
Scheduled to leave @ 11:05
Actually pushed back @ 11:40 thanks to 'maintenence' & finally crawled around to the other side of the airport & got into the air @ 11:55.
Exact same meal as listed above except the FA's were calling the salad 'lemon chicken', which was interesting because I didn't see any lemon...
Oatmeal cranberry/walnut cookie & mints prior to landing.
No buttonhole in my napkin

12:00pm EWR MIA Lunch
Fish Taco (better than it looks/reads). Rice was light, moist and fluffy, fish was not really overcooked like many of these types of dishes can be.

AA 3683 ORD-ABQ on 11/1
CRJ
Departed @ 7:50 pm
Arrived @ 9:35 pm
Choice of BBQ basket or grilled chicken w/couscous.
I do wonder why AA/AE doesn't put a salad choice on these flights, like the very popular chicken cobb?
FA on the flight was fantastic-came around constantly asking if we wanted anything else.
GA who pushed the flight back, on the other hand, was downright scary she was so rude (which seems to be standard on the AE side in ORD).
