^ I also agree with this sentiment and this has been the way I have approached my air travel the past 18 months and it was quite frankly a bit freeing not having to play upgrade roulette. What I will state is that I have been willing to pay a modest premium for American versus United (the later I have been avoiding like the plague) and all things more or equal between Delta and American I would go with American. This tickey tack stuff with the meal tinkering will definitely eliminate that preference because at least now Delta has the best record of getting from Point A to Point B on time and with the lowest cancellations and at least I get my damn PDB.
