Thanks for the sugar coat. 
Let me ad dress this directly. No hems or haws.
People love animals and clothes! It's a koala-tee combination! I didn't think you would give a rat's ... if I changed clothing with rodents.

But it's easy to make a pawsitive income if you offur animal clothing. I say gopher it! It comes down to claws and effect. People like to purrchase outfits that look quite fetching. Look at the latest edition of Vanity Fur magazine to see celebrities like Kitty Perry and Meowly Cyrus wearing them.

Looks like the AF 772 I was originally booked on has turned into a 789. Anyone here flown on AF's 787?

Greetings from a newly-minted Delta FO. Looking forward to all the upgrades I'll get to enjoy! 
I did cash in my last Choice Benefit last week and am hoping to use them for another trip to HI this Fall.
Flying my first 787 flight next month on JAL. I can't wait! Mrs. P is happy that there is a privacy divider between the seats that she can put up, but I'm just ready to play with the electronic window dimmers.

Congrats! ^
And congratudolences
I just had my first 787 flight in January on a UA 789 SFO-SIN 
it was tolerable in J, can't imagine such a long flight in Y 
Followed that up with a 788 ride on NH, SIN-NRT. Hard product was noticeably better, even ignoring 2-2-2 on UA vs. 1-2-1 on NH. Lots of nice little touches and attention to detail (I particularly liked the slightly raised guard on the storage space under the footrest to help prevent whatever you stow there from sliding out during takeoff roll).
Not trying to be snarky and this may seem obvious but I would check the AF forum for info about AF's 787

and it's good to see that the Queen of the Multi-Quote Reply hasn't lost her touch! I counted an even dozen quotes

If it's true that dogs hang their mouths open to cool off then dogs that wear sweaters also pants.
Are we switching to rodents before all the clothing jokes have been depleated?
Appropriate that Phil lives in PUNxsutawney.
Maybe if twelve Delta Forum Lounge posters got together

Is it considered gaming to intentionally book a short connection with the hope of maximizing the chance of a schedule change?
One of the segments is on an RJ too, so all I really need is an operating carrier change. Love that little regulatory loophole.

full disclosure: I have done both, multiple times ... sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t
