How hard(expensive) would it have been to have a hot buffet line in the lounge or elsewhere for the employees working the holiday? Hell, a $10 voucher like they give passengers would have been better. Btw, I know southwest had a hot buffet going and personally saw what LCC had in CLT.

And if the company was too cheap to do it, why not ALPA? Could they not have used some of the money they always seem to have to cater their meetings and social hours?
It must not have been very good, as there were leftovers when I attempted to duty in on Friday morning.
My last year at our regional affiliate across the ramp offered a buffet dinner that had management personnel serving it.

On a side note are the chief pilot offices open on the weekends still? The last three weekends I've passed through they were closed.
