Thank you for the interesting report. The desert on AA F to me at least is not very original. Anybody can get this desert at home! Reminds me of TWA F in the 1970s when on every transatlantic trip they served only Vanilla ice cream with whipped cream from a Ready Whip Spray Can. I laughed the first time I experienced this. "Whipped cream sir with your Sunday?" "Yes please". Then the can would come out and you would hear WOOSH WOOSH WOOSH. I wonder whether AA uses real cream?
I am a bit nervous about the Saab planes. A year ago when a Crossair Saab crashed on takeoff from Zurich I read some bad press on the Saab. Have you heard anything about this plane? I now try to avoid this plane.
