Interesting story, thank you. Welcome to my world. When I travel for work, I'm required to fly coach. If I want to upgrade, I have to pay for it, and it is not encouraged.
Try SWA if you can. It sucks less.
Neither of her Delta flights we bad either. Delta, SWA and Virgin are only airlines I am willing to fly anymore.

If you're paying for the upgrade--and not simply on your corporate travel card; who the hell cares if it's "encouraged" or not?
My company has a flight time band system for whether coach, business or first are reimbursable expenses--but no matter what they'll reimburse me for, I pay the first class fare and am reimbursed for the appropriate band--that's just a personal choice.

and it's not really food!
A matter of opinion. It usually passes Sacthel's "is this food?" test. Usually
The in flight food reminds me of the first tv dinners that came out in the 50s!
The only thing you could say about them were, They were editable!

You haven't had business class food lately have you? It's quite good, on Delta at least.
