I would guess this was a flight to Florida. US offers no meal service on flights less than 3.5 hours (PHL-DFW used to be an exception; don't know if it still is) whereas the competition still does. Search "potato chips for breakfast" for more details.

As a (former) student of history, I would posit that human nature doesn't change much over time. We are as lacking in common sense now as we always have been. The difference is that it is easier to find out about things now.

My guess, too, is that some of the efforts to legislate common sense are efforts to forestall lawsuits. As a country, we have chosen to regulate ourselves in large part through the court system rather than through legislation, and some laws may simply be an effort to prevent this. Other people more learned in the law than I may think otherwise.

Keep in mind that the US forum is schizophrenic -- filled with former US loyalists who have turned on the airline in the aftermath of the merger and the changes that have been made on the one hand, and people who are happy with their free upgrades to a bigger seat or who are hub captives and have decided to make the best of things. The posters in that thread (present company excepted ;)) tend to be in the first group.

On another note, I am surprised, in the "redeem F award and get Y while people are EUA'd" thread, that belynch used the phrase "what toasts my muffin is...." I would have expected "what frosts my donut is...."

US is notorious for management by spreadsheet and tripping over dollars to pick up nickels. Verbs probably cost extra.

That thread in particular does not present too much schizo behavior, IMO. It's a pretty reasoned discussion on the failings of US F.

Frosting on a donut, good. Burned muffin, bad. Negative connotation accomplished. :D

Did you work DCA, PHL and PDX in to the MSP-GEG routing or is that for your FLL-PDX run?

Flying a 14-hour flight from Asia, having a seven-hour layover, flying a redeye to CLE, connecting to an RJ back to DC which almost had to return to CLE for MX reasons, then heading straight into work = Awesome.

Surely true, but I was more making fun of their coming right out and saying essentially "this product probably doesn't work for you".
I would assume, though, that the HP company store (sic; see the URL) is targeting US employees, which makes this description a bit more defensible. I can, however, think of no context in which "attractive but cute" makes sense. |

US domestic F is kinda like the Mall of America. Do it once to say that you did; nothing special in the air whatsoever.
Not sure if that was a supreme waste of 25K, but it'll give me a chance to go Mall of America on a new route/domestic F product/lunch/dinner that I probably would never do otherwise, at least in the near future...right?

If properly padded, 12A [in the E145]is actually not that bad of a seat, IMO.

Thoughts on AA? I had been sitting on 23K-and-change AA miles for a few years (flown them once since 2006, and I had to look in my FM to remember that). I needed a one-way NYC-DEN for December (to drive a car back to DC, dropping me off in CLE for the holidays), the CO qualification was already taken care of, and the prices weren't great...so I transferred a couple thousand *points and cleaned out my AA account on a one-way F award LGA-DFW-DEN.

Be sure to bring an EmPower connector if you want to use the in-seat power, though.
IME AA F is as good as anyone else's in terms of food and service (milk and cookies are a nice touch). No IFE on the MD-80s if that matters. |
