The excuse of it being a result of cutting staffing is ridiculous. The FA's still have to pull food out of the ovens and put it on a tray; if they did it the old way by plopping a cup of vegetables and/or side, and then doing the same with the meat/protein/pasta its not going to add 30 mins of extra effort. They've cut so many other elements that the whole service flow drinks/meal/collect could be done in half of the time than it was being done during the BusinessFirst and early Polaris days. They could easily improve what's offered and still have a shorter service flow than pre-CoVid.
If I'm in a good mood and want to become depressed instead, I just come to this discussion thread to see how terrible UA Polaris has become. It really is sad as at one time it was usually a good experience. Obviously no one at UA cares in the least and probably never will.
