Understandable as someone's opinion of unappetizing could be vastly different than another pilot's. As an example, I find the side salads unappetizing solely because of that awful "balsamic dressing" (hint: it's not balsamic) that is included with 99% of the salads. I just cannot eat one more salad as a crew member, deadheading or as a non-rev in Polaris if that is the dressing that is provided. I'm to the point where I buy dressing packs from the salad bars at the grocery stores so I have something - ANYTHING - different for my onboard salads. And, yes, I have filed complaints to the Hotel Committee to do something about this.
Now back to the vacancy bid thread.
