I was just on a LAX-JFK and my nuts were just fine. Warm too.

That said, I'm a cashew person, and I could do without the pistachios. I really hope the sweet nuts are an anomaly, since I like my nuts salty.

I flew last weekend and it was the same nuts.... I do know AA is trying to improve the First class experience, was in a focus group about it a few weeks ago. I am flying this weekend and will report back.

as another poster reported: There was a shortage of ramekins system wide and the FAs were told to substitute wine glasses for the ramekins. Hopefully this will be taken care of soon, it's not a new service or something to expect for the future. The glasses are a temporary fix until the catering kitchens can restock with the regular ramekins.

I have small hands and I had a hard time getting the nuts out of the wine glass as well. It's those last few that give you a hard time! Glad to hear its temporary.

I haven't heard a thing about new nuts. I've done 6 roundtrips this month with the old ones.

Weird that there would be a shortage of ramekins. Has massive ramekin pilfering been occuring or was a truckload of ramekins involved in an accident?
