I’m not sure what FAs do much anymore. No alcohol. One half cup of water on a three hour Southwest flight for crying out loud.
It’s never been glamorous but it has gotten downright awful.

On Monday, Delta announced it would invest a total of $1.2 billion in international partners Virgin Atlantic, Aeromexico, and Latam Airlines. All three existing Delta partners fell into financial trouble during the pandemic, but Delta relies on its alliances to provide travelers with a full list of international destinations and was eager to keep them loyal.
Delta after the investments will own a 49% stake in Virgin Atlantic, 20% in Aeromexico, and 10% in Latam.

Hopefully in five years we'll all wear a name tag with our nationality written across the bottom.

Are you saying you’re all for flag of convenience as a model for success?
Also agree on your F - - rating of service.
