Perhaps if more AA FAs had Skylady's attitude, we wouldn't even have threads about general service deficiencies (including Pre-COVID). We've had AA crew post on here over the years(who can forget BoeingBoy!). So I, for one, appreciate when we get some personal insights from crew. Thanks Skylady!

Also for this, apparently?

Legacy US had Don’t Call Me Shirley, a DCA based FA I believe. Everyone thought he was a she (Shirley) but it was an Airplane quote he used for his handle.

I also appreciate when an employee takes the time to post here. I hope Skylady continues to share her perspective.

So, any reports now that 11/10 has come and gone? I can't believe no one else is here asking or reporting!

There is one report for international elsewhere, which also looks like a "yes" to my earlier post:

But surely someone can confirm whether glassware has returned to domestic F?

I can confirm yesterday on AA1980 PHX-IND we had the real glasses w/the etched AA logo on them served w/our lunch. And I can also confirm that the ovens do still work as was evidenced by one of the FAs using it to heat up his/her lunch after we'd had our cold sandwiches...

Also I do see some positive reports over in the domestic meal thread.

As trailer park supervisor Jim Leahy says, "I like to be sober enough to know what I'm doing, but drunk enough to REALLY enjoy doing it". Alcoholic beverages on a flight is my version of sitting by the pool with a cold drink.

That could also have been for the pilots, who got hot meals back a few weeks ago.

Flew MCO to PHL on Friday night and I was served my drink with glassware. A few passes of the snack basket as well. 2 miniatures with my tonic. All was well, Neil the young boy behind me started to be sick…a few times.

It was nice to have glassware back on our CLT-CUN flight yesterday.

Now, if we can get hot food back. I am so done with the soggy sandwiches.

Yes on Nov 11 and Nov 12. Food still subpar, but that is another discussion.

Proper glassware in Business on the JFK-LHR flight this Friday (and warm nuts in ceramic ramekins!). But no PDB-- sure hope that's not the 'tradeoff'...
