See Chapter 1.
At the 6:15am departure time of my EWR-DFW flight, nearly everyone is asleep, including myself, sitting in 24B. It is dark.
The cabin crew then makes 4 announcements in the first hour of flight. Among them:
"We'd like to welcome our AA Advantage members onto our flight. If you are not a member, you can sign up by going to aa.com or asking the flight attendant for a form."A few minutes later:
"We will be starting our beverage service soon. We have complimentary soft drinks, and wine, liquor and beer are available for $5."It is 6:45am.
