A passenger on an American Airlines flight from San Diego to Charlotte witnessed a flight attendant recycling orange juice by pouring it back into its original container. This practice, seen as unsanitary, may have been influenced by CEO Robert Isom's directive to employees to minimize unnecessary expenditures. The passenger reported the incident and was offered 2,500 reward points by the airline, which they declined. This incident recalls a similar occurrence six years ago on an Emirates flight, where a flight attendant was seen pouring champagne back into a bottle. Such practices raise concerns about sanitary standards and cost-cutting measures in airlines.
