Tracking Limited (H2O only) or No Predeparture Drink Flights in FC (Domestic)

There has been inconsistency in the domestic FC pre-departure drink service.

Please post any flights this month (December 2006) that you were seated in domestic FC and were only offered H20 or not offered a predeparture beverage.

01 DEC DTW-MIA NW997. Nothing offered, flight was delayed boarding 30 min, but then we spent another 20 min before pushback, so there was plenty of time.

If RC's intention is to present this information to NW Inflight Service folks, then I think date AND flight number AND city pair would be helpful.

Is has been my experiences that on Airbus 319/320 or any of the DC-9 series, I have been offered pre departure drinks, and on any of the 757-200 or 300 I have not been in the last two months.

Pre-Departure Drinks offered:
BWI-DTW DC-9
FNT-LAS Airbus 319
LAS-FNT Airbus 319
LAX-LAS Airbus 319
LAS-LAX Airbus 319
DTW-PHL Airbus 320


No Pre-Departure Drinks offered (including water):
LAS-DTW 757
PHL-DTW 757
DTW-BWI 757
DTW-MEM 757


Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but 4 times on a 757 no pre-departure drink, and all other aircraft, yes.
