I had my 1st experience on AS this weekend (SEA-ANC). The flight in coach was all that others have praised AS for: The attendants were friendly and efficient. The food was good--given that it was coach. And there was no growling when I asked for something extra. The attitude was "Can Do!" Would have made my old Marine Corps dad proud.

My one complaint: The flight was a co-share with CO but there seems to be a problem interfacing bteween the 2 lines' computers. Fouled up my seat assignment and chances for an upgrade.

Wish AS flew in the Texas/Southwest area.
