Horrors.

I guess the only justice is that as I'm quaffing champagne and scotch alongside a steak in the LAX QF lounge on a domestic itin, AS elites have to pay to line up at the trough for their soup and salad.

Makes tolerating those janky seats on LAX-SFO runs a little easier.
AS is the alternative to AA in that I don't really ever want to connect in PHL, ORD, CLT, DFW, or PHX with travel to/from SEA.
