Date of Flight: February 09, 2018
Flight Number and Route flown: AS 922 SEA-BWI
Time of Departure: 9:50am
Length of flight: 4:10
Class of service: First
Meal served: Breakfast
Meal Description: Beecher Cheddar and Parsley Omelet with Fingerling Potatoes and Chicken Sausage -OR- Granola and yogurt
Both meals accompanied by fruit plate and warmed Danish pastry. I provided the Cholula.
Additional Comments: By the time the flight attendant took our meal orders, it was well after 10:00am. What are the odds that anybody on the airplane hadn't already eaten breakfast before boarding this flight? Serving breakfast on a flight this late seems like another cheap cost-cutting move by Alaska. That said, I chose the omelet and found it ... okay. Cheese and and a few sparse sprinkles of parsley do not constitute much in the way of either filling or flavor. Hard to believe that supposed "First Class" service aboard trans-continental flights has fallen so far. Warmed nuts and a snack basket were offered about an hour out. Meh.

TH flew the 922 (SEA-BWI) on 2/10 and said the meal and snack basket and nuts were all served within two hours of take off. That gives the FAs a lot of time to catch up on their sudukos. Also, asked people to lower their shades because people were trying to sleep on a 10 AM departure (give or take)

Later on in the year (post daylight-saving time?) this flight leaves at 10:10 a.m. and lunch is served. As it should be!

Odd meal, but one I'd probably eat....what's the white sauce in the dish? Could it actually be ranch dressing that I can't ever remember seeing even once served with a salad on Alaska? I've also never seen 1000 Island...trust me, I like boring salads over salads that are over-the-top "fancy", but this has got to be one of the more basic ones I've seen on AS....
