Maybe I've had an unlucky streak... maybe I'm just irritated after hitting segment 187 of the year (across all airlines) tonight. Not having a great run with Delta, from the Sky Club telling me they don't change flights anymore (call the 800 number) to a Red Coat having to come to the gate and instruct the agent to take off a non-rev she cleared an hour before departure to put me on after a flight cancelation. Or standing up to eat in the C Sky Club since there were no seats unless I got someone to move their bag from one of those stools on the side and shoved in shoulder to shoulder between two people on laptops.

But tonight on ATL-CLT was the third time in as many weeks on this route and once on BNA-ATL where there was zero service in First in flight. Tonight the seatbelt sign was off for about 25 minutes of the 45 minute flight. We got a pass of PDBs on the ground, the snack basket after they picked up those cups on the ground, and not a single sighting of a F/A in the air. This some sort of new thing?

Find it kind of silly that on a similar length flight, Spirit can roll carts and offer to sell/actually sell quite a few drinks/snacks to 228 people between FLL and MCO but Delta can't manage a cup of soda to 12 people in 25 minutes of absolute smooth air. On Contour Airlines yesterday on a 45 minute flight the F/A served all 30 passengers a full service. Or is the policy with Delta now PDB or inflight beverage, not both?
