It would be disappointing to have Buy on board for intra-Europe flights, as I think other full service carriers (LH) offer a snack and beverage. I guess the answer really is to buff up the C and W class offerings.

No you're not, I'm right there with you. I have chosen AF for longhaul in the past because I know the Y product is better. And I've been glad I did so.

I don't think they will go BoB, it's just not in their DNA. I think it will be a question of reducing other services, such as champagne (which is available in Y on AF), meal quality, magazines and papers which still seem to be available to all.
