The AAtitude and LAAziness of the flight attendants at American over this new MCE policy reminds me of the bitter FA's over at United who complain about having to handle all of that Polaris bedding without being paid one dime more.
If anything, the additional revenue would incentivize AA Inflight Services management to push the FAs into providing service; although I'm sure there are CBA issues with this already. I'm also a bit more reluctant to blame the FAs here; although I've vented frustrations with individual FAs numerous times on these pages. Management really should be pushing the issue, stating that the the comp. booze is a promised element of the MCE service. In many ways, AA is still a tale of two airlines and management has had plenty of time to address that issue, see PDB thread; see also various discussions of LAA hubs v LUS hubs.
