But wait, there's more. That was the ONLY service we received! Completely unacceptable on a 3-1/2 hour, mid-afternoon flight. This is the first time I've ever had just one service on this route so I am hopeful this was just the lack of effort and/or enthusiasm by the crew. I might add too, that this was a fairly "senior" group of FA's.

I don't know what they were doing the rest of the time. Other than one "less senior" FA who patrolled up and down the aisle collecting trash, the other 2 were missing until DigE player pickup time.

For an airline under assault by DL you'd think they'd put a little more effort into customer service. I hate to say it but I think they were just lazy. Oh well.
