AS131SEA-ANC 2:35 PM departure
Only water offered as PDB’s. Now that is LAZY!!! Better than nothing I guess. The statement on the cup is hilarious considering the circumstances!!

AS409 from ORD > SEA. PDBs were water, OJ or mimosa (heavy on the bubbles). Service was pleasant and proactive, but plane showed its age (old 737-800 with carpeted walls).

AS589 DAL > SEA on 3/27:
Water, OJ, or "champagne" offered! I was shocked, after not being offered a PDB of any sort for ages.
AS 135 SEA > ANC on 3/27:
Ditto! Offered all three.
Also had fantastic crews on this trip. I wonder whether, after the threat of a strike is over and a contract is signed, how quickly service will return to "we're better than the other carriers, but...not by much" standards!
