Cabin crew is all ex-AZ and they remain as they were on AZ - generally friendly but not service oriented and tend to disappear once the meal service is over.

Be warned if you are flying from JFK that they are using the AF lounge which is a hovel. And if you are connecting at JFK you need to see the ticket agent pre-security to get an ITA boarding pass (or at least you did - that may have changed with the relaxed COVID entry rules). Said counter is not staffed until 3 hours before departure.
When it was open, the AZ lounge was much worse than AF in JFK T1. In fact, the AZ dragon wasn't even aware (or pretended not to be know) that it was a SkyTeam lounge, despite the prominent sign/logo on the door.
