Seriously what has gotten into some of the FAs lately? I understand there are times when it is not safe for the crew to be out of their jumpseats, possible catering mishaps and other considerations but it didn't appear that was the case. FAs did a quick beverage run in F but I imagine the Y passengers were disappointed. Several years back I remember taking the former NW FNT-DTW (11 minutes, 54 mile flight) on A320 and the FAs still managed to provide water while we were on the ground.
I was told on an OKC to DFW flight that they dont do a Y beverage service on that route and that day happened to be no beverage service on DFW to OKC!! They should on short flights offer something on the ground or put a cart on the jet bridge and let Pax get a bottled beverage before boarding!!
