EVA Air longhaul (TPAC) vs short haul flights within Asia
 

A colleague (and very close friend) and I have done, together, 10 TPAC flights with EVA Air just in 2018. Mostly for personal travel, some for work (for him). We both have noticed a serious decline in cabin attentiveness after "lights out" for TPAC flights, and crews that are mostly reactive (press the FA button for service, but otherwise they stay huddled in the galley). My experiences in 2018 for TPAC flights alone on EVA have been mediocre. Note: crews are friendly, but very passive. This was not my experience in years past, nor my friend's experience.

However, we both agreed that EVA flights from TPE onto Asian destinations (4 hour or so radius) have been staffed by incredibly attentive and friendly crew.

I wonder if others have experienced this?

I wonder how much of this is related to FA attitude/morale given: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/eva-...t-protest.html

My thoughts exactly.

Wow, if I'd actually done all that flying, I'd be super angry.

...I'd be Super Angry all the time, and nothing could ever change it!

And inebriated. :p BR offers an excellent wine selection.
I have had no issues on my long hauls. Service on my connections onward are very much a reflection of the time of flight. The early morning flights to BKK and HKG are ok, but the late afternoon early evening flights can feature some tired crew.

I find it interesting that you and some others have continued to harp on this very topic.

As I have told your AC moderator several times, I am happy to disclose my full identity, inclusive of my passport information as long as it's a joint disclosure, but unfortunately I have been met with resistance with the local moderator deleting all of said posts.

That said, it has been a pleasure meeting with various Flyertalkers.

They're jokingly referring to another FlyerTalker, username "superangrypenguin" that flies EVA on a very regular basis.
