I flew AA ORD-MEX (2 Mar 2007) and was happy to see the metal flatware inside the napkin roll. But this metal flatware is different than that used on true international flights (as defined in AA terms – Europe, Asia, Deep South America). The domestic version is stainless steel, much thinner and light weight than that used on the international flights. The AA logo etched into the handle on the front side. I still think this is an improvement over the plasticware and another sign the metal is starting to work deeper into the system.
