The 50:1 ratio may be why three of JetBlue's five aircraft configurations have exact multiples of 50 for the number of seats.

A320: 150 seats
A321 V3: 200 seats
E90: 100 seats

You mean all these years of them training us to accept by faith that they are just there for our safety did not establish a precedent? People still expect drinks???

On my recent Emirates flights, the cockpit announcement mentioned the flight attendants are there for our safety first and service second. In the past couple decades, I have never heard the cockpit announcement mention service on American.
