Isn't it sad that we, as professional airline pilots, consider eating a free, unhealthy, and unreliable breakfast... and possibly saving enough for lunch (using PB&Js as a backup) to be "coming out way ahead".
There are so many things in this industry trying to destroy your health.... try not to let the cost of healthy food make nutrition another factor to that list.
No prob..I didn't take that as a rip. I wasn't too clear so my bad. I am a very healthy person and can usually find healty choices at free hotel breakfasts such as yougart, fruit, cereal. I will skip it before I eat dounuts and muffins and unhealthy carbs/sugars. My point was more on saving money but you can do that while eating healthy as well. I will spend money on healthy food before I eat junk for free if that is my only choice. I too treat layovers like a vacation and will always go out and enjoy what the cities have to offer. I'm just saying it isn't hard to come out ahead on per diem and do it healthy while enjoying your layovers as well.
