Glassware mis-cater: UA glassware on AA flight
 

I flew in AA F on SAN-DFW recently, and my beverage was served in this interesting glassware...

I'm sure this happens with some regularity, but it's still entertaining.

AA glass blowers are staging a work slow down.

Haha, Suprisingly, it was on time. If it hadn't been an A321, I would be wondering if it was really a United flight.

That'd be a problem, because Delta still hasn't reinstated their inter-glassware agreement with AA. :D

DP is implementing a stealth merger...

LOL

How much compensation should OP demand?

Yes we still won the Revolutionary War as the glassblowers' union was manning the airports

Perhaps @JonNYC can opine. How does this happen. Why.

I had this happen on a flight earlier this year. I was told it happens more often at stations where Republic Airlines serves Envoy and United Express as well as mainline flights. The glasses simply get put on the wrong flights.

I took this one last year...

This is what happened on my flight from SYD to LAX earlier this month.

I understand how UA glassware or napkins (or any other airline's service items) can get mixed in with AA stock in the catering kitchens. Each airline does not maintain a separate kitchen at any given airport.

But how on earth did Acela glassware get onto an AA flight? Does Amtrak have a catering station at Newark that also services EWR ? Or maybe the Logan catering kitchen also services Boston South Station ?

This is a puzzle!
