AA1585 LAS-PHL redeye last night, PDB proactively offered, including alcohol. I always ask on redeyes anyway to take my evening meds including sleeping pills. I was mostly trying to sleep but I'm pretty sure there was at least a full round of drinks after departure also. You don't get, but generally don't want, hyper-attentive FA's on a redeye. (Oh how I miss the B787's with the lie-flats on this route.)

So far, on every TCON there's been PDBs. Though, I suppose it's prosecco though they, or some FAs, call it Champagne; anyway, the choice has been sparkling wine & orange juice. I with those of you who find it strange to have fruit juice as a PDB. I mean, my fruit juice drinking days have been over since early childhood.

Had full PDB on AUS-JFK last Tuesday. I was stunned. Service the rest of the flight was excellent. The first set of "good job" tickets I have given out in about two years,
