Default Egg Salad Wraps...Really?

OK...I'm still kinda new, but, really, egg salad wraps at 3am? Can't we do better than that. I almost threw up in my mouth trying to choke one of those down today. Does anyone actually like these things or are you just eating it because its the only thing available?
How hard is it to get a frickin turkey sandwich around here.
What can we do to get something more appetizing?

I've had peanut butter and banana sandwiches from at least 2 different west coast locations during the past 2 months? Does anybody eat those?

In an effort to head off the standard whiney post about fedex pilots whining; I must say I like the chicken burrito.

You guys make me laugh. Be thankful they're not serving you catfish bisque with a side of water moccasin salad. A few years ago, while on reserve in Memphis, I was assigned a trip over to Europe. The notification was after the window for calling in a meal selection, so I was stuck with a pot luck selection. About 3 hours out of Memphis, in the wee hours of the morning, I went back and found, much to my dismay, that they had given me catfish. Hey, I'm from New England. We don't eat catfish. Hell, we don't even take the hook out when we catch them while fishing, we just cut the line and re-hook. Needless to say, I was one hungry sucker when we landed. Having said the above, I'm sure I wasn't hungry enough to eat that egg salad sandwich.

I like the egg burritos. Great protein, not processed, little to no mayonnaise! I love them!

I guess I should ask....how much do you weigh, and can you press the bar?

You know things are good when this is all you have to bit==ch about. I bet you didn't fly for the commuters.

Fill out a complaint form with a pilot report and send a copy to the hotel committee

Catering at FedEx is a WHOLE lot better than the flight meals I got in the Air Force, which I had to pay for btw. No complaints from me. I like the egg wraps too.

Hard to believe the the current box meal is WAY better than what we used to get. BTW, turkey contains triptofan, a natural "put you to sleep" drug (along with bananas). Which was my excuse for nodding off for 2 or 3 seconds during the EWR-LAX leg when I was a DC-10 oiler.

Just a little link concerning turkey and sleeping urban legends...just in time for Thanksgiving kids!

You can get a turkey sandwich as long as you don't mind if they put it on a cinnamon & raisin bagel with cream cheese. Now there's a combo.
