I still listen to liveatc.net a lot, both on the ground and in the air, and keep the flightradar24 app open my phone. On one WN PHX-OAK flight they did the usual "no service due to turbulence" thing. Weather was clear the whole way, jet stream winds were light without any twists or turns, and the PIREPs on aviationweather.gov were all green or blue. We hit about a minute of light chop around 10,000 ft climbing out of PHX due to thermals, and the rest of the climb was smooth. When we crossed into the Gila Bend ATC sector, the last covered by Albuquerque Center before you get switched to LA Center, every single report was "smooth". We then switched over to LA Center near the California border, and our own pilot reported "smooth". We did not hit a bump the entire cruise and they ended up doing a quick "water only" pass just before descent. The sign was turned off maybe 10 minutes after we reached cruise altitude, but the FAs still sat there. Of course, this was shortly after the FAs had been picketing in OAK.

My issue with this isn't the lack of service per se, I'll get a snack and a water at the airport to bring on the plane and on DL i can get a couple drinks in at the SC. The problem is the lying and I lose trust in people whose jobs are supposed to be about safety. It makes them look silly and petty. While FAs can demand we "follow their instructions", they can't demand we have any respect for the way they do their jobs. The situation at DL is not resolved, and one of Sara Nelson's top priorities now is to force a vote. She's got many DL FAs listening and I would expect this childish "no service due to turbulence" move to continue.
