Perhaps he's used to our higher standards of in flight service than that he experienced on his particular flight with Jet Blue.
As a former US travel agent and somebody who lived in the US for a number of years - travelling often on US carriers - I have to say my experience is there certainly appears a far more lax attitude to safety by flight attendants, but I guess that's just the way it is.
To respond in the way you have is really rather uncalled for.
No, it's really not uncalled for. I'm sorry you were personally offended by the response...but what does you knowing him and him flying on one of the world's top airlines (I assume BA) have to do with the inflight service at jetBlue? There are enough resources out there (including FT and the B6 web site) to get a vague understanding of what the service cosists of, so that there will be no surprise once on the flight. If he would have flown JFK-PHX with ANY other airline (DL, AA, US), he would have experienced the same OR less inflight service - not more. Domestic USA economy service is not what it used to be and I'm sorry you missed that point. The primary job of inflight crewmembers is first and foremost SAFETY. They are not there to sing and act out movie scits for the pax. Beverage, snack service and clean up is their duties...and of course, SAFETY.
