At least those pretzels are usually served with professionalism and a smile, which is more than I can say for some of the competition.

Plus I'd rather strip naked and swim in a giant pool of Continental's cheese soup before 'dining' again on the dried out "Michele Bernstein" crap that Delta served me in F on a recent transcon.

Continental Meals at Mealtime is still head and shoulders over what just about every other airline in the US serves on its domestic routes. Try asking for a second pack of cookies on jetBlue and see what happens to you.

DL's domestic F food is generally pretty bleah. I've had some salads recently that were decent, but then there was also the sandwich on FCA-ATL in F that had been stored in the coat closet on the 738 on the inbound ATL-FCA flight a few hours earlier.
