Please refrain from including me in the "so many" you are implying are inconsistent and if you actually read carefully through my posts you would know I don't drink alcohol. However, refusing to offer something as basic as ice (when even Spirit maintains it onboard btw) is beyond shameful for any full-service airline, though I'm sure your beloved ATL-based carrier would argue otherwise, allegeDLy.
It is not my "beloved ATL-based carrier." It is an "it is what it is for now" and I was ok, with limited travel,this year, to fly DL in F, with an empty seat next to me, MQMs that carry forward to 2021, pre-departure lounges that provided good enough offerings, and inflight service that was quite friendly, kept the wine coming, and snack boxes I could play with, along with decent IFE screens. And yes, delusional or not, I'd prefer to have an empty seat next to me for the time being than being served Swanson on China. Note that while Mr. Parker might have been spewing anti-elite "honesty," the marketing that AA spewed on its elites was contrary to Mr. Parker's own spew.
