Why oh why do the FA in C on 737 check your coat but on A319/320 they do not?

What really makes me angry is that they serve Minute Maid orange juice. MM is from frozen concentrate, as opposed to Tropicana which is never from concentrate. Hey Jeff Baby, solve the UA OJ fiasco before I start bringing onboard my own juice boxes. I'm glad that's off my chest. Phew!!!!
Ironically, at least ex-Canada catered flights used to serve Tropicana OJ (though don't know if they do this anymore). Found this out quite by accident - a few years ago, well before the merger, was on an ORD-EWR morning flight and I noticed they were pouring Tropicana. Asked the FA, and apparently the inbound came in from YYZ and had more left, so they used it first.

Ms BH noted yesterday in F that the linen napkin/table cloth was not delivered prior the meal. Found a napkin under the food when the tray was delivered.

I noticed today on the safety video that when they say switch off phones they show the passenger sliding the red bar to power off an iPhone and THEN show the passenger pressing the power button on the top of the phone. The correct order is pressing the power button and then sliding the red bar to finish the powerdown sequence.

The e-mail surveys for my last ps roundtrip arrived out of order - inbound first, outbound second. When is UA ever going to get this right???

AA sends plastic ones too, but they're actually very high quality. After my UA one broke pretty quickly, I used the AA one for both tags and it's quite robust.

The elevator at IAH (E) UC is very, very slow. Unacceptably slow.
