I agree with this- I flew AA international F a fair bit at the start of the year and I can honestly say the staff were friendly and courteous to the last, albeit I felt a little harsh on some of my fellow cabin mates who kept forgetting to pull their masks up when not eating!
I joke that I always decline the offer of being woken up for breakfast when flying AA because I imagine it would be with a slap in the face! But it’s a stereotype… sometimes a bit of sassy attitude can be quite exciting when you are used to being fawned-over normally…!!
