Crew Meals
After having crew meals for the past week, I totally understand why the pilots voted for crew meals as opposed to a per diem increase or meal stipend. I mean, why would I want to choose my own meal? Alaska airlines has my best interest in mind, that’s why they always provide complete, nutritious, healthy meals that will help me keep my medical till I’m 65.
For that matter, why would I want to build my own schedule? Line bidding is way better. Because Alaska airlines is a family oriented airline that will most certainly build lines that take into account my well being from a work/life balance standpoint. I LOVE 12 hour three days with circadian swaps. And I hate choosing my days off. I’m tired of being able to see my family on all of life's major events.
In fact, I’d also trust management to choose my apartment and my future wife. I have seen that the company is always kind hearted and does the right thing.
Now back to my kings feast of fruit-loops and a granola bar.
