Short version (Have to go to meeting)

8/66 Family moving, Corporate paying. 1966. Males in coats, white shirts and ties. Ladies, including the 4 year old in dresses and hosiery. SYR-DTW. Change planes. DTW-SFO.

LOBSTER (and 2nds). 1st taste of Filet Mignon. At 16,1st taste of wine in
public. FA's loved thier job, and more importantly, loved US! (And we loved them in return).

8/16 Bi-monthly return to USA from CDG (in J). Inattentive service, inedible food, and less.

1966-FA's were wonderful. 2016-Union seniority system gives high$ PAX "Grumpy Granny Roulette". YMMV

NET RESULT: As EXPs and we commute DFW-CDG 1-3 times a month, BUT all post 1/10/17 travel in $J, out of DFW is on ....

NOT AA.

Go figure. Once again, YMMV.
