As for providing a beverage service on the ground, we were parked at the gate and therefore are not permitted by the FAA to bring carts in the aisle as they would block access to the aisle for an emergency evac on the ground. If there were a need to evac., the boarding door would be the only way off the plane as doors are not armed until push back. That night was a mess and thanks for being so understanding of a situation that should not have happened. Thanks so much to the pilot that gave of his time to help us out and work the flight to EWR. It's co workers like him that help make this place a great place to work!
