I didn't know it was made in Michigan. I think it is like 3 bucks a bottle, struck me as kinda pricey for 2oz. I have never tried it.

I don't drink coffee so I have no idea what Starbucks charges...probably 4 bucks. I just drink one of those giant bottles of water, the urge to pee keeps me awake.

Default Pilots still pay for Starbucks?

Didn't learn this at flight school or at the airline:
Did learn this during my current unemployment:

1. Purchase a Starbucks card, load $5, and register it online.
2. Save your last "paid for" cup, or pick one out of the trash. Your discretion.
3. Refills are forever free after that. $0.52 cent charge becomes $0.00 when you present your registered Starbucks card to the cashier.
4. Lifespan of reused cup is 4-5 refills. When cup deteriorates and develops heavy leak, request new cup, pour contents of leaking cup into new cup, and begin cycle at step #2.

Discuss pros and cons to stay awake during long flights.

But hey, I'm living in a van and have time to kill on APC attempting to encourage total strangers to crack a smile....

That is awesome, and sad that we have to resort to that at the same time.

I just don't see how this is possible. One hour prior to ETA we start receiving calls from the FA's saying "What is our ETA?" - even though we already told them our ETA. I used to think this was a pain in the butt since all four or five FA's would individually call up on their own and ask the same question - from now on I don't think I will mind.
