Tuesday night DCA/MIA young male FA swam against the swells going to coach to get PBDs. Excellent service in the air. Unfortunately for him and the other FAs the guy sitting next to me kept giving the FAs a hard time (seated in row 1) about the amount of time to get to the runway for take off and the time in flight. I guess he wanted what? For the FAs to pound on the cockpit door and scream hurry it up?

10/6 SAT DFW = ANy PDB of choice; Plus any drink of choice during flight; And a small granola bar; Excellent FA with great attitude.
10/6 DFW MEX = ANy PDB of choice; Excellent service by single FA.

Being a vegetarian....Was not happy with the fruit plate (vegetarian) option on the MEX flight. I misunderstood it as a granola plate while selecting online.

10/5 AA2995 JFK-MEX: Nothing, and quite a lackluster senior crew once airborne, like not starting the first drink service until an hour plus in the air, forgetting to add gin to a gin and tonic and rolling their eyes when asking for an actual gin and tonic (who the heck orders just tonic water??), and going full Mia once meal service was over.

10/9 AA390 MEX-DFW: Water, OJ, or Apple juice. Decent young crew on this short hop, no real complaints

10/9 AA652 DFW-LGA: full pdb. Absolutely fantastic young and motivated crew with multiple drinks runs before, during, and after meal service. One thing, seems ex-DFW, we’re still getting the packaged nuts instead of the hot nuts
