IIRC AA said they would re-institute either way. BTW, FAs are over playing mask police. Every flight I've been on now for a month, including this AM, people have been maskless and no announcements. Today the only thing said to me was "would you like a refill on your beverage?" I have the feeling even airline management tired of this mandate isn't going to push it on flight attendants.

I'm actually OK with this. It is fairly simple to buy food in the airports and bring it onboard if you want to eat on the flight. Alcohol, not so much.

Transportation Mask Mandate to Be Extended 15 Days
Just got this from the WSJ:
"Transportation Mask Mandate to Be Extended 15 Days
Requirement to wear masks on airplanes, buses and other forms of transit was set to expire after April 18"

Maybe AA's BOB will include Pop-Tarts... But seriously I hope things get back to some sort of normalcy soon, relative to in-flight service.

On a side note, I recently flew UA in coach and was impressed by how simple their cardless ordering is.

Really?!? Then, I will blame Kroger, Safeway, and the grocery retailers for having bare shelves. After all, the pandemic has been going on for TWO years. Why are the shelves at my local store so empty? Where are my unfrosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts???

Not sure where this goes in the AA Forum scheme of things but got a snack or five plus OJ and a purchased Woodford on my 04/27/22 DFW-LAX flight:
Unfortunately nothing more substantial to purchase to eat on that route.
