Maybe they have 2 meals "since there's so many left over" or mix and match from the trays. Then an hour from landing, if we call them and beg, they'll offer us some leftover leftovers. Or maybe they say nothing was left. I hate to be negative about this, but most of that is currently how it goes with most of the FAs.

It would be nice if we had a policy like United and could pick our meal ahead of time with our name on it. But of course, we'll get 'em next time on that. I bet we get a lot of $10 excuses too.


Some guidance from the union or the company would help. Maybe a memo to the FAs too. This takes effect in a month.
Not on my ship. We will be properly catered and the FA’s will know exactly which meals are for the pilots. The fitness for duty signatures and release of the parking brake depend on it.
