I was about to call and change the award ticket to the 7am flight from SMF (ohhh, that's soo early) just to be safe (plus that flight is listed as "snack" in F) but then I thought to myself *what if the connection is so long that the DL baggage handlers set our bags aside and forget to put them on the plane*?
A 1:20 connection might go straight onto the connecting DL flight instead of waiting around below for the equipment.
Am I thinking about this too much?
