Seriously, you don't know the difference between an S/O and a PFE?

^^^ yep!

Always laughed at the term S/O... I was a hard core, oil-covered, tool-toting, steam gauge-tweaking F/E and proud of it! I believe calling an AA F/E an S/O would get you an a$$ kicking. :-)

Generally speaking, not catering meals on the Caribbean turns is a blatant violation of the JCBA. From PHL, most (if not all) of the turns should be catered in both directions, but they almost never do. CLT is likely the same, as the flights aren't that much shorter. If they don't provide a crewmeal, refer to the flow chart to determine if they should have - make sure you adjust the bloc times correctly, and use the adjusted times to determine whether you have sufficient ground time between flights - and if they don't provide a meal they should have, get something nice and expense it.

So, it ends up my profile is a touch out of date... I fly the 757 now. That said, we did do island flying out of PHL, including GCM, FPO, and MBJ - I think we still do at least some on the airframe.
