Agree - I’ve almost always pre-ordered when available and haven’t had that issue. That said, one of the FAs on a recent flight tried to take menus after orders were completed as part of the PDB pick up. I asked to keep mine, but several other menus were collected.

Talking about a menu. Recently I did round trip BOS-LAX in Flagship J. Both BOS-LAX and LAX-BOS FA handed out menus to only passengers without pre-ordered meals. I pre-ordered meals in both direction and did not receive a menu on both flights. It happened on both flights so I was wondering if that is the thing now, printed menu only to passengers with no pre-order?

Menu from last night's AA340 (LAX-MIA) in J class. Had the short rib and it was pretty good... Got to LAX way late so missed the FL. Had to settle for dinner on board. Most everyone else slept.

Diabetic or Kosher on a breakfast mid-con?
I have a breakfast flight SAN-DFW. Standard options are egg, bacon, cheese croissant or fruit plate. I'm leery of the Hindu or Asian options as they've been almost all rice when I've had them. Any experiences with the diabetic or kosher choices on a breakfast flight?

This is quasi-domestic, but the OGG-DFW flight in J on Monday definitely had some supply issues. The salad on the printed menu was to come with blue cheese and either balsamic or pineapple vinaigrette, whereas the actual salad came with parmesan cheese and a sesame ginger dressing. The light second meal also had blueberry Yoplait instead of vanilla Greek yogurt.
Had the aforementioned bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on my second flight that day. The egg is hard boiled, which I am not a fan of. Thankfully the eggs weren't dry, but the sandwich was forgettable.

AA 818 PHX-CLT this morning-choice of breakfast enchilada (which has a bit of a bite to it, in my opinion) or fruit plate. When FA got to me, I mentioned that I had pre-ordered the enchilada to which she stated, quite adamantly, that ‘there’s no pre-order on domestic flights…25 years, I’ve never gotten any paperwork about that…’.
