On SLC-SAT right now and there was PDB. First time I’ve seen it in a very long time. Didn’t happen on first leg SJC-SLC. Maybe just an anomaly or slowly working its way back now that mask mandate is gone?

I could understand when the mask mandate was in effect that it was faux pax for the passengers in F to have masks down drinking while everyone else passes by them to board, but with the mask mandate no longer in effect, I’m not sure there is much reason not to.

Less than 10% on my sample of like 12 segments since February. I had one PDB offering on a regional carrier flight, that is it.

I suspect the PDB on Delta is largely a thing of the past. The flight attendants are used to the covid lifestyle and will threaten voting in a union if asked to provide better service. Management will enjoy the cost savings of less alcohol and beverages being poured.
