I completely agree. Rarely do I meet grumpy sourly international FA's even in coach. I think mostly the europeans are not used to the more casual service, calling you sweeite, making small talk, etc. Ok, they tend to be a little more senior, but so what? They make far better conversation than the clueless young bimbo's flying around.
I must say, I did J on CX in July, and I am so glad to be back on AA J. Poor on-time performance (stuck over night in HKG, then almost again in LAX), missed baggage connection, ignored my priority tags, terrible seats, and a very warm front 4 rows of upper deck. The FA's only know to apologize. So those who complain about AA, try your own favorite carriers again, and compare.
