Yeahbut….the A350 pressurizes the cabin with Unicorn farts, so there!

True about the humidifier. But false about the cabin altitude. Cabin is based off a set differential. It doesn’t modulate higher based off time. It does increase as you climb higher but cabin alt is still way lower than older jets even when at 410 after 13+ hours. I think at 380 it’s about 5500’.

Espresso machines...

We disabled the milk frother because galley hygiene turned them into a high school chemistry experiment.

I’ll just stick a straw in it and obnoxiously blow bubbles while the skipper side eyes me. They’re just mad I got the ice cream and they didn’t.

I think it's funny that you can pay people minimum wage to use a milk frother at Dunkin but a FA isn't capable of doing it

You don't carry a personal milk frother?

I gave up on FAs knowing how to use the machine. I just make my own double shot and grab a square of dark chocolate that is provisioned with the espresso pods. Some look on in amazement as I help myself to what they perceived as their own personal supply of dark chocolate squares
