Plus 1167 is a 787....

Just flew 1167 and the dressing is the oil and balsamic vinegar variety in the little bottle.

The hummus that accompanies the salad is odd.

Yes...! That's it... but the "hummus" had a "caesar-like" quality to it, no? I initially thought it was hummus until I tasted it... it was like some hybrid or something... maybe my taste were warped

I actually liked the new "dressing"... I never use that balsamic vinegar acid in a bottle! Before this I always ate the salad as-is!

It's Hummus... and not a new dressing.... It tastes like ceasar because it has garlic. it is NOT a dressing.

Well, if you don't know whether it's hummus or dressing, something seems a little off.

(FWIW, I quite like the hummus served as BOB in Y and never wondered what it was.)

I'd second just how bad the E90 constants are for long-hauls. Have done a few EWR-YYC runs on them and you have no idea what you'll find in a bin or behind a door. You open something that normally has napkins or plastic cups in it, and get smacked in the face with 6 water bottles. It was never meant to fly routes like that, AC pushes that aircraft to its absolute limits.

If this is in fact now SOP, this is absolutely unacceptable.

I'm not sure what you mean. You're saying that if there are only two paid J but the cabin's full, they don't load any meals?

The SD said they don't load meals on the E190 anymore if the majority ppl in the cabin are upgraded/op uped. Just cold nuts and drinks. They did try upselling the Y BOB menu in J which I almost laughed at. Either way no one got a meal for close to a 3 hr flight.

Either the SD is high or something is horribly wrong here.
