I'm amazed that anyone pays for F just to get the domestic in flight meal. There are many reasonable reasons, and I guess to each their own, but that one is fairly shocking to me!
I did a few trips via DEN this year, and with a change in job next year, pretty much all my flying is going to be SFO/SJC to DEN and back. Likely my last year as 1K, so hopefully I enjoy some upgrades and hot meals, for whatever they're worth!!
