Mileage running for Air France First Class/La Première
This one was actually legit as I had to go to Pittsburgh on business. Used to always fly AA but now that they've turned into US Airways, I don't think so.

Lunch
My first of 15 DL flights in the next couple of weeks. Once a Delta Diamond Medallion but now an AA Executive Platinum and USdbaAA refugee, what a treat to (1) have open bar PDBs and (2) be served an edible and tasty meal on a domestic flight. Today was chicken day with a choice of chicken or chicken... the chicken milanese salad (which looked delicious) or the hot chicken club. Presentation of the latter was a little lacking but once constructed was delicious. Both were accompanied by a mystery but tasty cheese/veggie soup, and the always excellent Dancing Deer cookie.

Another excellent crew and PDB #2 of the day.

Excellent DEN-based crew on a same day turn. PDBs and frequent refills throughout the flight. Loved the inflight personal device entertainment system. Excellent quality although the selection of movies might get a little boring if the system is not updated regularly.
Choice of beef sandwich or chicken salad, with cream of mushroom soup. The good news is that this meal was actually edible, unlike the current slop served on USdbaAA. The bad news is that hello! this is a dinner flight, and sandwich or salad is (what DL serves for) lunch. On the other hand, a PIT-DEN nonstop gets me home early enough for a proper dinner with Mrs. SFO.
But the galley right in the F cabin configuration of NA A320s is depressing. Yo, how about using the curtain or at least turn down the effing light after dinner service. Note to self: bring a baseball cap next trip to block the glaring light.
Now to Day 1 of flying aimlessly around the country or as Mrs. SFO "flying to nowhere today"

Another great ATL-based crew and another open bar PDB. Thirty something babe next to me had the first of a few rum & cokes. After a couple more inflight, she gave me her business card. LOL. No, I did not give her mine.
And a not very good beef wrap that I picked up in the terminal, just in case.

Same great crew as the inbound and another open bar PDB flight.
Since we arrived early, I decided to stop for a proper meal, at least as it is defined at TGI Friday's in the E concourse.
My Jack Daniels rib-eye was pretty tasty.

Another crew DL crew and another open bar PDB flight. Apparently SOP at Delta where I've had more PDBs in one day than in couple of months of AA flights. Another snack basket flight and we're finished with round 1.
