I knew Nagoya would be bad, but they just dropped off my stuff and it's 9,170 yen or about $108.

Yes, I bid it knowing laundry would be a problem. But, WOW!!

F. Laundry Expenses
Laundry expenses for a pilot will be reimbursed as follows:
1. A domestic category pilot is not entitled to laundry expense reimbursement.
2. An international category pilot who is engaged in international operations is eligible for
reimbursement for laundry expenses incurred at a layover city if his rotation contains an
ocean crossing and has a time away from base (TAFB) of 96 hours or more:
a. a receipt is required, which must be submitted through the electronic expense form,
and
b. the maximum reimbursement is $50.00.

Ferd;

Has trip quality gone downhill at your seniority, if so, by how much? I thought all you did was lie on the beach and snap your fingers.

It sounds cheaper to buy new skivvies than do laundry.
