The only other airline that uses "drink trays" in the main cabin is Southwest, all other airlines use carts that I'm aware of. Any of the big airlines do anyway - and moving that cart back and forth everytime someone needs to go to or come back from the lav is asking WAY too much. Sure, if you're in front of the cart then why would you care - you already have your drink and food - what about the people in the back that have to wait an extra thirty minutes because the F/A continually has to move that cart back and forth. If you decide to get up when the carts come out then thats the chance you take.</font>
On my last JetBlue flight, they split the cabin in 3 and used trays to deliver drinks.
Personally, I try to avoid using the lav in the forward cabin, but if the cart is blocking the aisle, I will take that route assuming I'm sitting in the first few rows of Y.
I've had times sitting in F waiting in my seat for someone to exit the lav so I can use it, only to miss the chance b/c folks from Y are coming up and standing in line right at the door.
