I'm far from it. I was setting the scene. IM(nsh)O, the more senior FAs provide me with either my best or worst service. There comes the time in one's career where either you want to continue it with the proper service standard, or you should choose another line of work, or retire, if able. Many still take pride in their work, and are really embarrassed of the slop they're serving us, sold as "Chef-inspired dining - Enjoy a multi-course meal, and pair it with our award-winning wines. Menus are inspired by big names in food like Sean Connolly and Maneet Chauhan on select flights."
And others spend 12 hours doing their rote-tation. (Look, I made a new word!)
