DL "greeting" cards intl D1
Since Jan. 1 I've completed 2 rts between JFK and ZRH in D1. On each leg I've found personalized "greeting" cards at my seat, they seem to be handwritten, welcoming me on the flt. Do the FAs really handwrite these or is DL using a computer to generate these?

handwritten.
if it is computer-gen, you can tell based on letters (i.e. the same 'e', 'a', etc.).
AI will change this. But not yet.

I received one only one time and it was on a connection carrier. I got up to use the lav and when I returned to my seat there was a hand written note on it.

New Years flying RDU-ATL upgraded to FC. FC FA handed a personally written card just before landing to everyone flying up front, I think everyone. I was in 1B, but everyone else in row 1 got a card.

I got one on an IND-LGA (on Endeavor) once - I saw the pilot open the flight deck door and hand a stack of them to the FA - maybe that's what they do at cruise?
I get them on Mainline probably 25% of the time up front though always later in the flight.

Received these in premium select last summer on JFK-KEF and the return (757 domestic F cabin). Both crews were really excellent.
