Couldn't it be some kind of miscatering/error/miscommunication? I mean, 4/1 just rolled by, so it's possible it's not fully straightened out yet. There still are some reports of tray linens missing on flights post-4/1.
That's what I am saying--they put a blue linen on the tray table and set the plastic tray with liner on top of that linen.
While I'd like to have linen on the tray itself, this practice isn't that unusual--Delta puts down a placemat on the table and then a tray (albeit a more stylish one than gray plastic) on top of that. In premium economy, Qantas puts down a white linen on the tray table and a gray tray on top of that.
