Still no PDB…
ALB-ATL mainline A320.
Requested a coffee from the flight lead; told they don’t do PDB before. I asked about the press release, was told it’s only over 900. Not going to push but will be writing in.
even if it’s policy, they’re still not actually doing it.

yes I know. I got scolded on here being told that the press release was wrong and that it’s for all Cabins. But this NYC based crew seemed to think otherwise telling me that the press release was wrong.
oh well, I’ll get Delta to give me 10,000 miles for it. $100 worth way more than a coffee… their loss.

Full PDB on JFK-BOS today (mainline not Republic) which is 187 miles — great BOS-based crew also managed a full drink service and multiple passes of the snack basket on a 38 minute flight

just goes to show that regardless of the ‘official policy’ of the airline, the crew can either leave you delighted or disappointed.

No joy this morning on DL958 PBI-ATL (FA’s boarded when boarding was supposed to begin); Success on 2888 this afternoon ATL-GRR!! This was first PDB inn domestic F since the ‘VID.

Sort of full PDB service last night ATL -> NYC airport. FA made a quick pass asking if we wanted anything before takeoff right before we pushed back. I took him up on it but certainly seemed annoyed.
I think the flight was catered during boarding, 1R was open but couldn't see fully.

3rd flight in nearly as many days and I’m 0/3 on PDBs. All have been Republic flights up and down the East Coast (and under 500 miles), so my service expectations aren’t sky high. I’ve started treating boarding notification as a suggestion to grab my own PDB in the lounge.
Current flight ex-DCA boarded early with ample, leisurely time while boarding, and no PDB.
