This means that the most professional men and women in the industry do not perform a beverage service. Strangely enough, even though turbulence is always expected, in almost all cases, the flight is as smooth as glass. Even more strangely, there doesn't seem to be "expected turbulence" in the opposite direction (AUS-IAH).

A few years ago, CO flew a number of 757s between IAH and AUS, and it seemed as though the flight crew took pride in making sure that a beverage service was performed. No more. It is clear that the flight crew on these flights has decided that the IAH-AUS run is a good time to take a break.

FYI, I am referring to a beverage service in First so it isn't a large number of people.

The "most professional men and women in the industry" indeed...
