Currently on AA1915 DFW-SEA and it's the freaking "Turkey" or Veggie Sandwiches. Ugh. But glassware is back.

Protest to AA Customer Relations so the message gets passed on. It appears they haven't received enough negative comments about cold meals and especially the disgusting sandwiches.

COVID aside (and even during covid these days) full-service European airlines consistently pull off a better quality food product and even manage to execute it faster on short-hop routes like LHR to CDG (45 minutes wheels up to wheels down) in mega Club Europe cabins that extend far behind the 8 and 16 seat configurations on US fleets.
It's unfortunate that the bar is to "not do just worse than the other guy" instead of building a desirable inflight product.

I've seldom found the meals in business class to be anything special and there is absolutely no way the business class cabins on intra-European flights compare in even the slightest way to first class cabins on domestic U.S. flights. How can you say a business class seat that is exactly the same as a coach seat (with middle seat blocked but same legroom) on European airlines is anywhere close?

At the current moment in time it means nothing. The flight I'm on now was refreshments a week ago and a few days ago switched to Lunch when I looked at a dummy reservation. Same old crap "refreshments" we've had for a year or more.

The pilots however were served a piping hot meal! I see absolutely no reason why AA couldn’t serve pax paying for a business class experience a hot meal (like the pilots got) on an almost 4hr flight.

As mentioned upthread I also just took yesterday aa1122 BOG-DFW on the 772 in J and there was zero catering. Completely embarrassing by AA and is a new low for an almost 6 hour, 2500mi+ flight. No excuses. SD told me and all status pax to write in. What a joke AA, forget the glassware rolling out, how do you not cater a flight this long??? 1500+ miles to canada okay, that’s bad enough. But 2500+mi to South America? Soooo bad. So bad.
