Also, as to the reduction in quality of food on AF short hauls, I agree that it isn't pleasant. But that is actually more of what I would call a non-French approach to airline management. More Anglo-Saxon in fact. It is a decision of AF management to put the squeeze on their passengers for every last penny. AF used to have some of the best cuisine. In fact I always put them as number 2 behind Sabena. But this AF is completely different than the old airline and Sabena is gone. That is just the times we live in.
