But to respond to the OP (who has probably lost interest) this sort of stuff happens all the time. Often it is not worth replacing branded stuff because it is more expensive to replace than generic unbranded and branded tends to get 'aaccidentally' dropped into peoples bags.
BTW I was in both BA and AA lounges in the last couple of weeks and neither were the glassware and crockery branded in anyway.
Nothing to do with DL (and OP is wrong as it wasn't a merger)
Sorry -- there were no responses to OP's initial post, and I too had the same question, so I figured bumping might be the best course of action. Sorry if this wasn't the right thing to do :/
I agree with you re: costs of branded stuff, but all sorts of branded stuff has been stripped of the Clubhouses in the past seven years. Rarely do I see a VS Doodle pad. No more red "human error" erasers. The glassware and tableware mentioned by OP.
Interestingly enough, the silverware has consistently remained branded. That's the one constant here.
Thanks for the input.
