I know it was announced that hot meals will return to regional later than mainline, but not sure why that would affect PDBs, unless they need time to add additional drinks to the catering carts, or something like that. I wonder whether the regional FAs have received the same directives as the mainline FAs.

What is the point.
The water/OJ PDB service has always been mystifying... I don't know where AA flight attendants ever got the idea that people want to sip fruit juice before their evening flights.
I've seen the water, red wine, white wine tray a few times over the years... that's more like it.
