I heard that they just didn't have the space for the glassware on the Skywest flights due to a closet taking up space in the galley area. I really do wish they would consider adding the tablets at least for the F cabin, but we'll see....
Allow me to respond to your response to my response...
On the same flight (PDX-DAL), I DEFINITELY do remember the glassware.
No tablets, but I was pleasantly surprised to get glass cups, etc.
And I'm not sure that I buy the "there's no room" explanation; SkyWest uses glassware on the United Express flights in first. So why couldn't they for Alaska?
In any event, it was indeed SkyWest, and we did indeed have glassware ex-PDX.
