Amazing and disgusting how many times management reveals how little they actually know about the FOM, MEL, A/C manuals or the contract.

Regardless of what I used to do in the past, I can guarantee you I will be ordering max extras and drinks on every flight now. Unbelievable.

If you are thinking about how hungry you are because the catering out of (insert crappy intl catering of choice here) was just too disgusting to eat...then you are not as SAFE as you could be. The extras can help bridge the gap in the hunger game (pun intended). I guess now he is out of the safety business and in the contract business safety is a non-issue. Yeah, I know some folks will attack because I say the food is a safety issue....to you guys I say look at some of our senior captains! Food is definitely important and a pre-occupying factor if there is not enough of it.
What left over catering in CDG? You don't dump it all into the trash before exiting the jet? If it isn't safe to unload crew bags, then it's not safe to unload crew catering.

+2 I actually do that, but many do not.

So on a 14 hour flight, we are allowed one juice or soda every 3.5 hours.... Talk about arbitrary..... I guess we could just take a break and walk over to the soda machine like they can.... Oh wait! We're at 36k feet!

I just maxed out all extras on my next trip, and usually just get one extra. I prefer water. I'll be much thirstier and make sure I "destroy" all extras in the future.

I do appreciate how they are doing all of this stuff before Peak. Combined with HKG, PBS and these little gems (catering, backpacks, parkas, etc.) I don't really see how I'm going to be able to answer my phone for the next two months.
