I often fly Ord to Sea on Saturday night and have never been on one of the new configurations. The last flight(1-7) didn’t even have seat power! And why bother with airline food when you can go to Frontera —avocado toast, yum!

Last I checked, AS isn't densifying their Y to 30" like UA/AA or adding a Basic Economy product, and I've had plenty of non-transcon F on other airlines where the food is "meh" in 38" pitch recliners (just flew AA F on SEA-LAX where a miscater happened and everyone got BOB Y boxes).

Here at JFK for the Alaska Gates. I can only be remjnded if Col Kurtz muttering “the horror” in Apocalypse Now.
