Honestly going to have to start flying AA more often. Nothing but pleasant flights with them. There's just something about their FC that feels more "FC."
Do I need to post the photos of the warm nuts and cookie?

I flew DL in to PHL a while back and was amused when we rolled past terminal after terminal of AA planes, then taxied to the "and the rest" terminal, and wondered if that was how people flying other airlines feel upon landing in ATL
Best not to probe the topic any further then, before anything gets blown out of proportion and creates a mess.

On my flight yesterday:
FA: "Standby for all-call."
Guy in 2D: "Don't you mean standby for alcohol?"

I just wanted to let you all know I am being especially crazy for the next 4 days.
Leaving tonight for a barbeque in Anchorage. BOBW is the host from the Alaska forum. DAY -MSP-SEA - overnight tonight in SEA. Then tomorrow SEA-ANC arrive 1.00pm then to Bobs to meet all the Alaska crowd. Hopefully I will be sensible and not have too much to drink because --- overnight in ANC then fairly early Saturday morning it is ANC-SCC-BRW - 7 hours in BRW then BRW-ANC.
Then very very early (red eye) Sunday morning/Sat night ANC-SLC-MSP-DAY.
Then work Monday morning.
So what is so crazy
1) Going to Anchorage for the weekend just to attend a barbeque.
2) The ticket was close to 2K - paid First
3) Then there is the money for the Alaska flights - slight risk of getting stuck and missing flight home and work on Monday.
4) 9 flights in 72 hours is not too bad I suppose.

Still working on the idea of a Beer DO here. Besides all the microbreweries, a local gas station has over a thousand beers in stock.

I've had lunch with the 767s and met davetravels although I don't think it was on the same day. This is the same trip where I almost met GRALISTAIR when my inbound to YYJ was his outbound but I had to go thru Canadian customs

(and being my usual literalist self, I've transited PIT numerous times since 1971, but this was in fact my first time venturing beyond the airside areas)
had today's PIT choreography not worked out, our first day's drive from NoVA to Niagara Falls would have taken us up US 15 ... she may be flying east with me in Oct, so the opportunity is not lost
