Been several years since there. I have found that many of the AA cabin crews still live near and are based out of the same hubs as before the various mergers. Maybe it is because I am southern, but the crews out of CLT, RDU, and PHL seem generally more attentive to their passengers. Those are primarily ones from the old USAir.

My last Iberia was from ORD to MAD a couple of years ago. Food was awful; crew disappeared with no options for extra water and such.
