That‘s also all I would ask for. No more, but also no less.

After all, United advertises things like "A wide selection of complimentary inflight beverages is available throughout your flight" for domestic first and not "drinks will be served if we feel like it".

Safety is always the top priority in aviation, no doubt about that. But on my flight the FAs seemed just too happy they didn't have to get up and serve drinks/food. There is a big difference between saying "As you folks heard from the captain, there will be no service today" (as they did) or "we are sorry we won't be able to provide any drink/food service today".

Fly the friendly skies ...
