One of my favorite FA comments ever!

Today during the PDB service the guy in front of me orders a Woodford and Sprite. The FA responds, "I can't do that sir. I'm a Woodford girl. I can bring you a Woodford on the rocks."

I wonder if this flight attendant was around a few years ago when DL offered a "signature" cocktail made with Woodford, cranapple juice, and orange juice if I'm not mistaken. I tried it.

Where is this FA when I try to order a Woodford with just a couple ice cubes? Had the time I end up with half a glass of ice.

Ugh. this ^. I often order whiskey with one ice cube, and sometimes the FA's look at me like I'm the most needy customer ever. I really just want it for the splash of water because I don't like playing bartender while seated in an airplane seat.

I hope I you had a JWD cert to give out.

My boss recently said I should try that (mixed with Fresca actually). I said I will try it with Jack or CC, never Woodford. That just isn't right.

To use an analogy:
DL flight attendants:ice :: Dunkin Donuts:Cream

There's no middle ground.

Well said. I never could understand Dunkin's "need" to add cream to my coffee for me? What the F?
