Cutting FA staffing won't make meal service any quicker.
I flew CX J a couple weeks back and the staffing cuts were terribly obvious and played out in glacially slow meal service, despite a competent and hardworking crew. (And this, on an airline where they serve pre-plated entrees off a cart in business class.) I fear the same will become the norm with UA.
Like a poster above, I feel for the crews who are still trying to deliver great service despite the cuts.
