And while we're at it, the Eagle flights should have ovens and full & proper catering.

Let's see if I got this right --
1. Stop most/all meal service to save money
2. Fire a bunch of employees even though the government gave you money to keep all of them.
3. Try to re-instate some meal service, but realize the catering department is decimated and lost key people.
4. Thus, it takes an extended period of time to get meal service back because, guess what, the catering companies went through step 2 as well.

MIA-LAX does not have meal pre orders for Flagship First correct? Also does anyone know the current dinner menu for the route?

AA Domestic First Turkey and Cheese Sandwich Worse Meal in 30 Years of Flight
I just had the turkey and cheese sandwich in first for the first time on a transcon flight from SEA to PHL, and it is the worst meal I can ever remember in 20 plus years of flying.
I think it would be cruel to serve this sandwich to prisoners. It had no taste or seasoning, flavor, etc. I could only take a few bites out of it.

You must be joking. You took your own rocks glass and wine glass onboard and repoured your beverages?
Did that not feel a bit ridiculous?

What’s the status of the Glenlivet? Is it only in flagship cabins or sporadic throughout F cabins?

I flew MEM-PHX last week in a CRJ900 on the way to LAS as part of a 9 hour door to door jouney.
Blocked 4 hour flight going against jetstream for 1264 miles. Only snack basket onboard. Majority of Memphis airport restaurants are still closed, even the starbucks, and the sports bar is only selling alcohol and pre prepped and packaged deli sandwiches because their kitchen is closed. Labor shortages don't you know?
Oh well, a cold deli sandwich brought on board beats the snack basket. Or better yet, set aside time to eat some Memphis BBQ or Cajun food prior to your flight.
Luckily the PHX Amex Centurion Lounge/Escape Lounge is now open 8a-8p for a hot meal though the three times I passed through there, their menu hasn't changed so that's getting monotonous too.
I appreciate the bigger F seat, but otherwise treating flying like taking the greyhound bus now, just buying transportation with no frills. Good idea to pick connecting trips with a buffer connection time to allow time to eat in lounge or buy food at the airport food courts (if they're open, big if).
At least AA didn't melt down this last weekend like SW did with 2,000+ canceled flights.
