The alcoholic beverage offerings are still not back to pre-covid--though it would seem an easy task to accomplish. I'm not a SCOTCH drinker, but many enjoy scotch and it seems to me this should be a beverage choice; also, a CANADIAN: CANADIAN CLUB RESERVE or CROWN ROYAL should be returned as an offering for those of us who enjoy this beverage. Even BREEZE AIRLINE just added Crown Royal!! A Canadian is very different from a Bourbon.

As previously mentioned, PDBs are now only on 900+ mile flights. Anything you're getting sub-900 is an error and will most likely be corrected. Makes FC even less worth it. Either give me a free upgrade or I'm sitting in C+. Not worth the FCM, ever.

Which is a joke TBH. All my AA flights of late have had PDB, even a short CLT-CHS. It's stuff like this that will keep me from buying DL F.

A Delta FA in another thread said the press release was wrong and all flights get PDB if time permits as of June 2nd.

Exciting for the option to choose meals/special meals. I was told all stations will have catering by mid-summer...wonder if this is the actual announcement.

PDBs moving to only 900mi+ (if true) and still no rum or tequila on board, but let's put out a press release about all these "enhancements"?

It's just absurd. Not only will Delta flight attendants now be paid for boarding but now the won't even be working as much as they previously did. With a 900 mile threshold for PDB, ultra short flights like ATL-BHM may not get any service at all. Delta's pilots are also best at miscalculating rough air and suspending service...

A Flight Attendant mentioned the “900” mile remark was a typo. I’d give it a month to see where the service standard truly lands. I’d be pretty surprise if they backtracked after adding boarding pay and the pressure they’ve received from angry F pax.
