Wrong attitude....YOU NEVER GIVE ANYTHING UP. I don't care if it's profit sharing or crew meal. You NEVER GIVE IT AWAY....I would do it if they gave us $50.00 a day, above per diem, for food. Then I might consider giving up crew meals, might

Another person with the right idea,

I'm thankful to have them on the shuttle days and would never go back to living life like at the Regionals. You old windbags need a reality check.

Outsider looking in here . . . what's the crew meal requirement domestically and when would it kick in for a northeast shuttle type workday?

Specifically with the shuttle, you should always get breakfast on flights that are blocked to fly through 0730. Lunch and dinner (1130 and 1800 respectively) will be boarded if the ground time before or after is below the limits, which I guess would be 45 minutes in PHL. My guess is you're likely just to get breakfast doing the shuttle, but I could be wrong.

It isn't chicken either... It's soylent green.

I have resorted to purchasing food or bringing food from home before long flights because the meals/first class food is incredibly unhealthy. Every now and then you'll get a salad but guess what that comes with ranch dressing (calories). I too also get stuck with the crap food. Most of the time it's pasta, loaded with cheese and carbs...yuck. The 'meat' is overly salted and is waaay overcooked.

I appreciate the thought but the food will need to improve dramatically for it to have any value in my mind. The worst part about all of this is that this is what they are feeding to our customers. If I bought a first class ticket and this is the food they gave me I would be ****ed. Off to Delta or Virgin.

The pretzel rolls are amazing though!!

I actually find the meals to be fairly healthy compared to anything I would find in a terminal. This was a pastrami sandwich... Of course if you want healthy skip the sandwich and eat the salad and fruit.

On the shuttle week I have coming up I am scheduled to get a few breakfasts and a few lunch/dinner options. It's all based on what time you depart I believe and there are Windows that determine what meal you get.

I just spent 5 days of narrowbody flying and only touched the salad on a couple of legs. Whatever the crap is they spray those meals to keep them shelf stable for a couple of days, my body starts telling me it would rather starve than eat that roach infested crap.

That being said, they try to short me on a contract item? The jet doesn't move until food is secured for the flight. $200/day is my starting trade point for crew meals, and I'm not moving much.

Do you guys get something different than us on the 190? We don't have a hot galley and get first class meals. I thought everyone was doing that now since they took away the boxed nastys

Just a thought- next time take the pic before you eat the sandwich.:)

I don't think there's much to complain about with these meals. Reasonably healthy and fresh, and served on real plates with silverware. The 190 doesn't have any ovens, so hot meals aren't an option.
