Interesting observation. I actually had a 3 day last month where we kept the same FAs the entire trip. The CA and a 12 year FA both said they couldn’t remember the last time that had happened. It was kind of neat getting to spend a little more time with the same crew, but not worth it considering the amount of time we had to wait on them to get to the hotel van or check into their rooms. We learned after the first day to try to beat them to the check in desk.
