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.

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

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 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!
