The food and beverage service was what one would expect on a flight of this length, although the brownie brittle was tasty.
What made this a good flight was the excellent service from the FA serving the F cabin. As we were taxiing she stood in front of those of us sitting in F and listed the drinks and snacks that were available and what cocktails she could mix for us. This elicited several thumbs up from the otherwise jaded business travelers on this flight.

Bravo to that professional FA!
If American did this across the system, people would defer to AA for flights, pay for first, etc. Profits would go through the roof and they would be untouchable.

That would require a CEO and executive staff with vision and competency. Something you will NOT find at AA unfortunately.

I got to show you what I deal with for all the AA apologetics here. AA YYC-DFW. 3 hours+ 1500mi+. this is it. water cup size of what you get at dental office to rinse your mouth. This time, the FA disappeared whole flight after serving the initial "cup" of water... right behind her curtain. No refills. pack of nuts. nice job AA killing it as usual. I pay for J, and I am used to this garbage but anyone who flies J occasionally that paid for this would/should be absolutely horrified. It's $1000+++ R/T in J minimum for this route.
Yes I'll keep continue comparing AA to AC, where I receive a hot meal on a 25 minute 226mi flight. Pretty much a joke that any of you can think this is acceptable lmao sad a f

And yes, that's awful service, but I use the call button liberally in those situations.

I do. Remember that pic I took of that "steak taco salad" slop they served a few weeks ago? Yeah I tweet that to AA every week to remind them of the crap they send. They must love over in that department.

I guess like SKYEG I don't understand the current meal policy in F. I flew DFW - ILM today. It's a flight of 1106 miles. We departed at 11:18am. Well before noon.
In the air we were treated to drinks and allowed to choose from items in the snack basket. (Which were nuts, corn nuts, or green bean chips when it got to me.) It's not like I was expecting gourmet fare. But frustrated when the website clearly says under Dining - US Domestic...
I sent in my complaint via twitter.

- Snack basket on flights 500-899 miles during meal times
- Meal service on flights over 900 miles during meal times
- Snacks on all flights without snack baskets or meals

Hot meals returning to domestic first
Looks like hot meals are returning to domestic first on Nov 10. Dummy bookings show refreshments through Nov 9 and beginning Nov 10 lunch, dinner and breakfast show up. Anyone know if and when pre-orders are back. I have fights starting Nov 17 and ability to pre-order does not appear.
