I know this is supposed to be a joke, but I bet there are enough Compass pilots who would actually vote to extend current book in exchange for their treat of choice in the snack basket.

Excuse me? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE pistachios, but pistachios and 'lean' don't actually belong in the same sentence. They are like 160 calories an OUNCE. They have enough oil in them (delicious oil for sure) that you could lube wheel bearings with them.


But yeah, they've still got my vote.

Forget that, what about the previous MEC that voted to extend the CBA without a pilot vote?

In all seriousness, though, I never even saw the legendary Oreo snack basket in my entire Compass career. Maybe got stuck eating too many Stroopwafels on the American side of the house.

Dont worry, at Widget, you still work for peanuts, too. I'm just happy they brought them back.

This^^^

Never eat a Costco bag of pistachio squares unless you are packing mucho fiber-o. Trust me, I knew a guy, it's not worth the 4% Vitamin A.

All this division will weaken us, not make us stronger. And I'd take pistachios over oreos every time.

Thank God. I was briefly fearful that maintenance was going to take the lubing wheel bearings with pistachios seriously.

Not that you couldn't mind you, but what a waste...

I once had so many oreos, I had to manually enter the weight on the loadsheet. Moved the stab from 3.5 to 3.8. That's gangsta

You should see what we have in the 9E snack basket out of New York:

- Smoked ham and gruyere panini on ciabatta
- Black roe with water crackers and cream cheese
- Soft boiled egg with thick-sliced, artisan, hand-crafted bacon
- Berry compote with creme fraiche in a flippy cup

Or maybe I'm just throwing random food words out there. We lost our almonds IRL, though, too.
