My FO got to the new airplane quicker than I did and CS called him asking about this. He told them that he never said such a thing and the scheduler’s response was basically “I figured as much”.
We pushed late but not before I made it known to her that she was out of line and pointed out the obvious that we don’t have “real food”’ on our aircraft like the Legacies do, nor do we get crew meals, nor are we mechanical robots that can just keep plugging along all day without having to attend to physiological needs.
