> American said that alcohol would continue to be served in first class and business class, but only during the flight and not before departure. So only postponed if you are the wrong class.

Logically correct. The wrong class has less to lose that would benefit the company.

  Thanks for walking me through the thought process, I'm sure American paid the firm a lot money for that analysis.

First/business has a _much_ lower ratio of passengers per flight attendant, and passengers who are generally more experienced travelers. Being banned from an airline for misbehaving is a huge impact for a business traveler, whereas Karen might have to drive to Disneyland next time.

  > Being banned from an airline for misbehaving is a huge impact for a business traveler Why would it be a big deal? If you get banned from American, can't you just call United and they will match your status. You are still spending tens of thousands of dollars and they all want your money. Sure, your airport might no longer be a hub but I'd think that is about it. And business travelers have no problem mis-behaving, some do it habitually until they accidentally harass an oligarch. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10104252140827491&set=a.616059824011.2209273.4617&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10104252140827491&se...

    If your banned from American, you can be banned from all the carriers under OneWorld. If you did something bad enough to be arrested, you may be put on the No Fly list or at least need to complete a passenger redress to fly again.

oh get off it. I personally cant afford the better classes, and I support this decision. 99% of the shitty people that do stuff like this, are in coach. Punish the people who are causing the problem, not everyone.
