The tomato sandwich situation must be addressed. Is Connie aware?

Seasoned ACMI:
1. You raid the Galley before preflight
2. Prep your delay message
3. Brief "Aircraft Differences" every time without manual reference
4. Grab TP before you enter the Lav
5. Grab Gen Dec after your Lav visit
6. Ask the Capt or FO or Dispatch where are going at this moment
7. Never really checked out of your hotel (U will return in a few days)
8. Pajamas are under your uniform
9. Always have Hot Sauce
10. 4 Pairs of underwear will last 16 days (think about it)

Yes, seeing a nice hot sauce selection in the galley always gives the mechanic brownie points in my book.

I agree Good Sir. I also hunt diligently for the German mustard when Brats or Schnitzel are involved.

Chiller Broke - no problem, Redneck cooler provided...

You’ve got a business class toiletry bag full of condiments.

I will admit to visiting Taco Bell once a month for a 99c taco and fifty sachets of Diablo hot sauce.
