“She only got sacked because she changed hotel rooms but she hadn’t informed her [customers] that she had — and they were turning up looking for her.”

According to an internal document American is improving the feature. Starting November 8 they aren’t just going to let you choose from the two onboard options on meal flights going forward.
Marriott will give you 1000 points for answering a simple question on Twitter.
