I have to say I’ve been quite pleased over the past few months.
I was recently on a short one hour flight hub to hub seated in MCE. When the cart came by flight attendant started service to me by apologizing I'm so sorry we don't have your snack, give me my drink, and said "I'm sure you don't fly in the back very often but we like having you back here and will take good care of you"
I definitely don't pay for first so I'm actually in the back in MCE a decent amount of flights, spite what the FA thinks! My two seat mates were thrilled to have me tell them they got free booze, they had no idea.
But I appreciated the flight attendant taking initiative and she knew all about the snack benefit for exp. Her extra attention and talking about it made me feel special, In spite of my upgrade not clearing as being#1 on the waitlist of 60 losers 🤣
