I am not sure I would go quite that far but the JCOCO chocolate bars are definitely delicious. Today, the Alaskan Smoked Sea Salt (ASSS) was on offer. They are infinitely better than the "perpetual" cookie! 
I am currently flying Salmon-Thirty-Salmon ORD-PDX. AS was gracious in allowing me to change my itinerary from ORD-SEA-PHX to ORD-PDX-PHX for a later departure and an earlier arrival without an add/collect. My original itinerary wasn't optimal but for $99.60 (even Russell couldn't 'handle' that fare) in Main I wasn't concerned and a SDC would be possible.
I changed my itinerary at approximately T-11 hours. I was and still am #1 on the waitlist, first again not to be upgraded. Although, it is possible that there were a few on the waitlist that were processor upgraded before I joined the list. 1DF blocked, 7/12 F seats occupied, 5/6 port side I am stretched out across 8DEF enjoying coffee, 2 Dasani water bottles, 4 pkgs of Sky Bites snacks & the jcoco chocolate bar. Coffee refill just arrived. Having 1/2 a row in Premium to yourself isn't such a bad thing.
I did get a processor upgrade on the PDX-PHX segment at ~T-6. Sitting in Isle & Window seat 2A on that flight.
Coffee, chocolate, wa' wa', Snackety-Snack, Snackety-Snack!

9/21 SEA-AUS AS 1144, 2 x 75K, 1 and 2 on waitlist
(comfortable in Row 7)
9/28 AUS-SEA AS 1003, 2 x 75K, 1 and 2 on waitlist,cleared at 30 minutes before boarding
A few random notes... We flew to attend a nephew's wedding in Texas. Comparing notes at the wedding with others who flew UA and AA, we felt far more comfortable than they did with AS blocking middle seats and placing only one person other than couples in each pair of F seats.
We had a long layover at SEA Sept 28 before flying onward to BLI and used a couple of our remaining passes to access the N lounge for several hours. Although the airport felt fairly crowded, the lounge itself was close to deserted, the employees were as friendly as ever, and the card system at each place (green if sanitized - turn over to red when departing) was reassuring. We enjoyed the Barista services and a decent pre-packaged salad, and found it a lovely refuge. Finally, the FA on the short SEA-BLI hop presented us each with those fabulous chocolate-caramel candy bars.
A big 
to AS for our experience from beginning to end. Finally, it's one heck of a long time to wear a mask and I feel for those in the workforce wearing them eight hours a day.

SEA-EUG
AS 2866
MVPG
Fare Class: S
Upgraded T-24
Yes, you read that right...SEA to EUG on a E175!! First time for me and maybe first time for Eugene.
I was surprised by the 2 x 2 full in row 2 as I had not seen that before. 1C/D are always blocked in almost all aircraft with FC reserved for the working FAs. So that only leaves 10 (800/700/175/3xx) and 14 (900).
