That reminds me, egg salad sandwiches, had a guy eat a whole tray out of NRT. Bad thing sitting across from him for a few hours. O2 mask on, sometimes don't help. Thought something crawled up and died.

I've looked all over VIPS, but for the life of me I can't find it: What do these abbreviations mean? The box with "CP" had two dried-up rolls and several rolled up slices of meat and a disgusting hard-boiled turd [egg]. The others had croissants filled with scrambled turds. On other flights, the BS boxes were filled with turd rollups. Yuck!

I was wondering about that too and came to the conclusion that "BS" was Breakfast Snack and "CP" was Captain. On the 727, we always have 1 CP and 2 BS and assume that since we all can't eat the same meal, the CP's were different.
Question for the 2 man cockpits...do you guys get one that says CP and one BS? Or are they both BS?

While we are on this subject, what can we do to improve our catering? Its so bad that I stop for a Subway on the way to work every night so I have someting to eat. I'd rather have taxed per diem for out-n-backs than try to choke down an egg salad wrap or strawberry crepe.
How hard would it be to get ham or turkey on a hoogie roll?

For those that do not know, I am the hotel comm vice-chair....
the only way to fix catering/hotel issues is by submitting Pilot Ops Reports (POR). You can find them on the comp. web site and on the union website. I guarantee that the company pays attention and actually tracks them. If you need more, pm me.

Ditto on the ops report. Submit one if you have enough time on-with your hands.
BTW I love eggs and egg salad, and the smell reminds me of my college days.

I was referring to a delicacy found in one of our snack boxes, consisting of teriyaki favored chicken jerky. It goes great with our crappy coffee at 0330 am.

It will be part of our next contract. I'd rather have PVG catering, myself, than rotted eggs.

...or get them to start adding "nato" (nah-toe) out of NRT.
