I'm on the 7:25pm JFK-SFO flight (762 in J) next week. Should I expect the same menu? I've put in a request for veg meal which I guess is the vegan meal and won't be the ravioli (which is what I would prefer)? Is it possible to request a non-vegan veg meal, which probably would the increase the chances of getting the ravioli.

The true flight time between DFW-DEN is under 2hr Flt# 2272 was 1 hr and 43 minutes. DEN-DFW Flt # 2382 was 1 hr and 25 minutes. AA has 5-6 flights between DFW-DEN and the DEN-DFW has 2. It aapears that those planes are not making a turn around. So could it be that the planes that go on to DFW are coming from a station that does not cater?
AA flies DFW-DEN 10 times a day round-trip - all on the MD-80. The vast majority if not all are turnarounds because there are only two other MD-80 flights into DEN (from ORD - which clearly caters - but thats a moot point anyways given that its the block time, not the flight time that dictates meal service).

Thats good to know :-) because I'm at the wrong end of FEBO. Ordered the veggie meal because wasn't sure if there would be a veg option at all. Probably better off cancelling the special meal as I have heard the vegan meal is much much worse.

When you board inform a FA that you would rather have the pasta dish because of dietary reasons, they usually will work with you on that.

My guess is that's route-specific. Same thing true with SFO routes. Not that I've noticed pasta go before red meat per se but just stranger eating habits amongst the passengers (large things of coconut milk, etc.) and less alcohol being served.

I don't find the pasta as repulsive as some of you do 
. In fact, I had a very good meal of shrimp cocktail, Greek salad, and ravioli the other night (followed by brownie a la mode) that I would be thrilled to be served again.
Then again, I also recently ordered tortellini in some sort of mushroom sauce that I regretted as soon as it was placed in front of me.

Then I followed tom911's example of adding in a bottle of Bailey's to my sundae. (Sheesh - I'm like a 5-year old, mixing all of my foods together. )

No guarantee though. I've seen FAs adamantly enforce FEBO under the banner of fairness. It makes sense. Though once a non-veggie offered up his pasta to a vegetarian raising a fuss on LHR-ORD. The FA basically said no, he sat behind the vegetarian and was entitled to his meal choice and thus wouldn't allow him to give it up.

What a contrast in FA attitude from this morning's mainline flight. "Dr. Bob" was in charge today. What a great FA, great attitude and terrific rapport with the pax. Flawless service. Multiple, yes multiple PDBs and great in flight service including hot towels before service, mixed nuts in ramekin and never an empty glass.
