After having enjoyed/endured 10 segments on AA premium international cabins within the last 2 years I've become accustomed to the maddening inconsistencies in services. But, one thing seems to be rather constant: catering on flights leaving the USA is almost always terrible, while catering on flights returning to the USA is usually much, much better. Why can't AA find good caterers out of U.S. airports for their international flights? Is it because they are used to lousy caterers for their domestic F meals?
