Yup. Service has been back for a bit now. Side note the snacks are causing a lot of problems because people are abusing the privilege to eat on board. One cracker at a time, 2 bites per cracker.Found this from October 29th. Not sure what has changed since.
Here’s what food and drinks the major US airlines are currently serving - The Points Guy
In-flight service is back. Here's what to expect on your next flight.www.google.com

Hey, no harm no foul. You're definitely one of the more sane posters around here
my aunt has been flying back and forth to see my grandma, and I am livid. She's 84 and would be dead from COVID. But I can't stop her oceanbreeze77

The size of plane also impacts risk. When you work a wide body- that's wayyyy more people than a 737.

I keep seeing that phrase "fear-mongering." The reality is, we have entered the depths of a crisis. Hospitals are full, we break records every day, and hundreds of thousands more are going die. That is fact, not fear mongering.

Indeed. If one thinks there is an issue, then one needs to provide enough evidence to show as much. You cannot prove there is no issue; that's the default you're working to reject (statistics!).Because if other businesses can operate safely and minimize risks enough, then they should be allowed to stay open. This has never been about eliminating risk completely; it's been about finding ways to keep economically what we can going, while minimizing risk to the smallest degree possible. For some businesses, or business operations, such as indoor dining, that isn't possible. But in lieu of a study showing massive risk and sizable levels of transmission at DW, they should be allowed to remain open.
It is it the job of the prosecution (i.e. the one making the accusation or assertion) that Disney is unsafe and too risky to provide proof. not on the defense
My darling breeze by the ocean, you're preaching to the see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil crowd. Then there's the rest of us... who continue to try and make contact. But like the movie Beetlejuice, there's no point taking your head off for people who can't see you.

You’re not fear mongering.
I am not hopeful either for Christmas; normally since I don’t celebrate holidays I have a big dinner with friends or big bonfire, but there will none this year for me. Can’t say the same for a lot of my extended family, but I can’t force them to do anything (or in this not do it)

Washington Post is reporting that Mark Meadows has told the FDA Chief to approve the Pfizer vaccine by the end of today or resign.
I thought COVID wasn't a threat. What a baby.

I know that I may be too much to completely pay salaries, but maybe a small severance? Food gift cards to Publix? Anything to these employees, even it buys them another month or two to find new work, locate charitable assistance, move back in with family. Etc.
Instead they got letters addressed “ Dear Cast member” ....while executives got restored pay and Bob Iger plays his fiddle

...thats suspicious.
Perhaps they could have let laid off cast pitch their own D+ concept series. Seems like they approved any idea that walked through the door as it is...

It sucks and there may have been more Disney could have done, but I think that really falls to the government. I know that Congress is broken and a relief bill looks unlikely due to all this fighting, but that’s the problem. We can’t rely on for profit businesses to bail out the government for their inadequacy. It’s even worse for FL since the state is so broken and the unemployment system is broken badly there. It’s not Disney’s fault that the state and local government is not doing what they should to help workers. TWDC could have chosen to continue paying the workers. In some cases CMs are still furloughed so have benefits but no pay, that’s not great but better than no health insurance too.

As long as humans run the show, it will be this way. Until then I rely on an old friend of mine
I have flown twice round trip this fall for a true family emergency, most recently last week. Each flight was well under 3 hours and snacks/water were served to all in prepackaged bags every time. I was offered beer or wine each time in comfort+. And the first class individual in front of me most recently ordered a food box. She had her mask off for a good 30+ minutes eating one bite at a time with no reminders. I had to ask the flight attendant to remind her to put her mask back on when she was done. First class was offered water multiple times too so she had it off frequently after and was not asked to put it back on between sips. This is obviously one example, but food/drink is being offered in some flights and not everyone is being careful.

Disturbing if true.
Too late for a prediction? I haven't really been following the news, so I'm fairly untainted with knowledge. I predict "No effect at all" except for the fact that Tapestry of Nations will remain cancelled.
