Although I don't fly these routes this is a positive move by AA, copied or otherwise.

Depending on the time of day, customers will be offered a continental breakfast or a boxed meal with a sandwich wrap, kettle chips and dessert. The menu also includes a vegetarian option and a fruit and cheese plate.

Nice to see AA matching DL but sadly no love for MIA.

What if you request a Kosher Style Meal(Does not have to be Rabbinical supervised) will you get some Kosher style NY Dill Pickles, Corned Beef Sandwich,Bagel Chips and a NY Cheesecake For Breakfast a nice Bagel with Cream Cheese Lox, Dill Pickle and a New York Chesecake and of course potato salad with mustard.

A new SPML KSSML( Kosher Style Special Meal) from Katz's or 3rd Street Deli from NY and a Deli from San Francisco and from LA Factors or Junior's Deli.

A day late and a dollar short, me thinks.

The Press Release includes some pics - they don't look half bad! And happy to see that they'll be offering Chobani yogurt for breakfast, instead of that disgusting sugar bomb they offer in international Y:

Obviously AA is just copying Delta to try and avoid losing some economy passengers, but frankly, I think it's pathetic to ignore the MIA Transcon routes just because DL doesn't compete there. A bit of consistency would be nice, if we aren't going to get originality.

Have you worked with professional photographers who do food pics? What's in front of the camera may have little resemblance to what goes onto your tray - including corn flakes in Elmer's glue, not milk. They work hard to stage the look.

I think to a very great degree, common sense dictates this and doubt anyone here isn't at least peripherally aware of this.

Sorry--can't have corned beef AND cheesecake. The lox would work, however, I'd prefer nova.
