I saw the snack stand in front of C9 at CLT this evening. However the flight was completely on time and without issues, so I'm not sure what it was doing there.

Casey Neistat briefly features the sandwiches and drinks in his
at 8:27 while travelling on another severely-delayed American Airlines flight. The sandwiches actually look halfway substantial (albeit they're shown at a very brief glimpse).
How does he get away with filming so much on airplanes?

If they are doing it in the case of weather delays that is a real kudos to AA. For weather they owe you nothing. A/C do have maintenance issues from time to time, its part of the "experience." Luckily most of the time I can wait it out in the AC. I wonder if AA will do this at smaller stations, not just hubs on airports with lots of flights? Any experience other than hubs?

To answer your question with an anecdote, my recent non-hub MX delay of 3h24m did not offer anything.

They put out sandwiches, drinks and snacks out for passengers on a delayed PHX - ORD flight I was on the other week. Weather was causing delays on all flights from west into ORD. Never before have snacks been greeted with such dismay, as our departure kept being postponed by a half hour. Everyone realised that meant they were expecting we'd sit there another hour. We ended up departing just over 5 hours late. The sandwiches were pretty decent. No such joy at ORD, where we missed our international connection and consequently had a further 11 hour wait for the reroute.

Pretty sure ours was weather. This was in the way of our flight http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/...p-Midwest.html . Then we had to wait for new crew.

Tonight looks like a refugee camp at CLT. I assume all the people bedding down here were caught in weather misconnects. However, there are employees walking around with bags of trail mix (outside Security).
