If I am getting a comp upgrade im happy to get it. Let the food fall where it may and if i have a dietary restriction its on me not on delta. With that being said why cant delta just stock equal amounts of entrees per seats left in first at the 24 hr mark. It aint rocket science.

BTW, she probably violated her employer's policy in showin your her "rule book" (my term), so don't post the flight and date anywhere unless you want to get her in trouble. It was a nameless flight between nameless destinations lol. |

I have been in 1st and just asked for stuff from the Economy food cart when the entree left doesn't work for me. |
Ok then stock meals based on percentages at the 24 hour mark so everyone gets what they want....the odd even flights has always been bogus in my opinion anyway....it leaves the comp upgrade person out because they have last choice of seat which also likely will not let them get the meal choice they want anyway

As an FA walks down the cabin this will co-relate to 1 A/B, 1 C/D then row 2 and so on. I see the question already answered above.. |

Think about that -- they would need twice the number of meals as needed and the unused ones will go to waste. They stock about an even number of the entree choices plus a few for crew and possible wastage. It makes economic sense.

While it is seemingly better than a year or two ago, unless DL seriously steps up FC catering, is it really a loss to get one or the other?

An AA F/A showed me her official "rules" book (don't know what it is called). FEBO is out and it is E/W N/S -- but she admitted that many of the FA's forget and just do FEBO even though the flights are no longer Odd/Even on same routes.
It was interesting -- she was in a mood to dump on AA since the merger and I got an EARFUL. Lots of "inside baseball" stuff. |

Nice to see DL catching up to AA on this one, and that worrying about whether or not FEBO is followed will be a thing of the past. Or knowing ahead of time that the meal on board is garbage and I should get something from the terminal.

Also why should someone who got a comp upgrade get to choose before someone who paid for first because they are on an odd or even numbered flight? It makes no sense.

Even more of an incentive to actually pay for the service desired.

Delta soon to allow 1st class & D1 to preselect meal choice at booking
Per Delta rep Catherine Sirna “Delta passengers in First Class or Delta One will be able to preselect the meal of their choice when booking, or up to 24 hours prior to departure, via Delta.com.” Source is my blog post here. I have D1 tickets that are several months out with the next run in 10 days. |

What I meant was that AA allows passengers to pre-select meals. Not all do, of course, and AA still specifies an order for those. Not having to worry about the order, on either airline, is for those who order meals ahead.
