Just curious: UA cut fruit plates on Asian flights? When was this announced, and what exactly does this entail?

I see where the OP is coming from, but I would not say that AA is getting better either, for the most part. They also cut snacks in Y, like UA, as well as some other things. Heck, IIRC they don't even have pillows in Y domestically (not that any FT'er would use those horridly dirty specimens).
