Nah, I was talking about AA. In the "old days", i.e., pmAA, they used sundae goblets on all transcons (even non-premium ones like RDU-LAX), but they changed the goblets to be tumblers, and I've seen even in International J them using tumblers instead of the goblets. I genuinely thought they had stopped using the goblets altogether.

Nothing in that article says AA is changing / downgrading the food. Just changing what packaging is used. its the same old low quality stuff it has been.
Less trash is good, if you ask me.

I'm not sure why the reference to bistro bags is relevant either, given that passengers are still served their breakfast bag from a cart, but I guess points bloggers are desperate for content these days.

Back in Dec. on drinks only flight out of LAX in F, due to catering drinks served in plastic cups and no snack basket or package of pretzels or peanuts. No limes or lemons, either. Back in Jan. 737 dinner flight out of LAX, catering loaded meals with one extra cart, a cart was nowhere to be stored in galley sitting in aisle. Meal catered was different from offered on pre-order.
Hope catering issues have finally resolved at LAX, have not seen complaint posted about LAX catering at FT lately. Will report back if still problem with catering at LAX.

FWIW, I have a LAX-JFK next week in J and no pre-order is available. Very disappointing that this is still occurring.
