If you look at either hot nuts or warm nuts, there in no difference between AA and UA (p=0.89).
The conclusion is that UA has more of an obsession with hot nuts, whereas AA prefer discussing warm nuts, but there is no difference with the overall obsession with heated nuts.
I can't believe that I just wasted 10min of my life doing that - I need a life
COOL- I love that thread!
There is another important nut feature to be investigated. Over at the LH forum we had some discussion ("cut of service") that in LH F the nuts were not anymore served before takeoff.
There is an important difference if you have NBT (nuts before takeoff) or NAT (nuts after takeoff) status. NBT is a F feature, NAT means C. NNA (no nuts at all) is reserved for the rest. Should be printed on the boarding passes.
On my recent flight JFK-FRA I got a small cup of -cold-
macadamias,
before takeoff. Thus, at least on this route everything was
comme il fault. In 2003 and 2004 my LH F flights were all NBT (a mixture of -warm- salted nuts was served). We could do some stats on the delay between entering the cabin and receiving the nuts. That would be more sensitive than the dichyotomic NBT/NAT thing.
By the way - I had my very first macadamias back in 1993 in LH Y, served cold in a amall bag (AT).
