Im on 844 (YUL-FRA) right now and we did have PDB service. But we were about 20 minutes delayed pushing back, so maybe its a time thing?

Just finished my coq-au-vin chicken. Should have ordered the shrimp I think. What did you get?

With the recent weather advisories I recently changed a couple of flights. The YYZ-YYC leg I changed to (on Wed) is scheduled to operate on a 330, which I believe is normally not the case. It appears to be a one off as its usually a 321 or 7M8. I received a pre-order and the menu is the regular NB 2 option menu, and the same is shown on the fight status page. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this as I'm wondering if the flight will actually be catered this way or if it will be catered with the expanded Signature menu?

I saw him once when he greeted everyone in J then no interaction whatsoever. Didn't feel like wasting my time chasing him down and asking. I don't even drink the sparkling wine crap they served as PDB, usually took the sparkling water anyway. Just do away with it.

Either:
1. They're not going to do PDB, period
2. I boarded "late" (i.e. after they did the PDB round), and they noticed me board and brought one to me before I could ask
3. I boarded "late" (i.e. after they did the PDB round), and the answer is no
My favorite, on every airline, is "the flight's delayed, we don't have time", and then they stand in the galley chatting for 45 minutes. (that would be #1 in my list above)
