Two AA flights today. One was an average crew. PDBs at 130pm departure on a 757 boarding through Door 2 were OJ or Water. The lady across the aisle was turned down when asking for club soda - "once we're in the air."
Next flight there was a bit of an odd welcome announcement from the pilot. Something about "in appreciation for the service my flight attendants are going to provide you, I am telling you that I expect full compliance with their instructions." It was the normal announcement just in a stern tone with maybe a word or two changed.
The inflight service was just poor. The FA came to us "chicken or pasta." My neighbor said "I don't eat chicken, what type of pasta?" The FA said,"If you don't eat chicken it doesn't matter." I then asked her what type of pasta as I don't like cream sauce. She was visibly annoyed I repeated the question but said "Tortellini, what do you want." I asked her what type of sauce, and got a "white, what do you want." I didn't bother to ask what type of chicken.
For the two hour flight after meals were done about an hour before landing the cart blocked the galley until about 25 minutes before landing. There was one pilot just standing and chatting with a FA. The rude FA was actually in the cockpit and several call buttons just stayed unanswered.
When we landed the FA who was rude to me was in the front galley turned away from disembarking pax. I never recall seeing that. They are virtually always there saying goodbye.
