Sorry if "unappetizing meal is not considered a failure of service" nevermind the inability to pick our meals, that means I'm likely stopping for a meal break. And the healthy (or least bad) options aren't always between gate a and gate b.
They are right back in a lot of the domestic rotations to the "we plan unrealistic turn times, and if you delay at all you time out / miss a DH later in the day"
That's a DL problem. Not a me problem.
I'm not going to go eat at the F concourse food court when my flight came in at T1 and leaves from T4, but I'm also going to get an actual meal and sit down and eat it. (I have done some of the ATL rotations they Y code, and they are mostly hot garbage Mouse Express stuff)
I havent heard a FO say anything to the point of "we have to get the MISSION done" in over a year. I hope the FOs aren't hearing it from too many Captains.
I used to tell my FO’s; This ain’t 30 seconds over Tokyo or Bridges at Toko Ri. This is Ma and Pa Kettle going to see the grandkids. It’s NOT a mission.
And same issues on the 717. I’m pretty senior and it’s tough to avoid trips I’d once never consider flying. It’s reminding more of my ASA days every month.
