Is it just me, or does anyone else find the Thanksgiving "meal" given to us insulting? In Atlanta there was a table of bagged lunches with a poster board taped to the wall(looked like someone's kid wrote it) above thanking us for working. What if anything did they provide in other pilot bases and AMS & NRT? How hard(expensive) would it have been to have a hot buffet line in the lounge or elsewhere for the employees working the holiday? Hell, a $10 voucher like they give passengers would have been better. Btw, I know southwest had a hot buffet going and personally saw what LCC had in CLT.

And if the company was too cheap to do it, why not ALPA? Could they not have used some of the money they always seem to have to cater their meetings and social hours? My last year at our regional affiliate across the ramp offered a buffet dinner that had management personnel serving it. On a side note are the chief pilot offices open on the weekends still? The last three weekends I've passed through they were closed. |

It must not have been very good, as there were leftovers when I attempted to duty in on Friday morning.

Is there talk about switching to Surface PRO?
Not really knowledgable about all these tablets, but I hear the PRO is a much better operating system. Seems like Ipad is the way to go. (At least everyone else seems to be going that way) The Surface 2 Pro has a better operating system because it's the full Windows 8 I think. The Surface 2 RT has a basic touchscreen that can only us "RT" apps, not regular Windows programs. |

BB, if you were going from Atlanta to RDU/RIC/ORF area would CLT let you go over the top in your Bo?
I'm guessing it must be the Lake Norman, Concord, NASCAR crowd that makes them hate little airplanes so much, or maybe it is the bundle of joy that is US Air :confused: who knows? Atlanta sure spoils us :) |

Leave it to a pilot to complain about a free meal.

I was at JFK from 1230 to 1400... There was an "appreciation" table but no sign of anything ever being on it.
The best pilots in the world walk through those doors though. ;) …one of our flight attendants showed us the pictures she took of the FULL BUFFET (Turkey, dressing, pumpkin pie, etc.) they had in the flight attendant lounge at the same time. I brushed it off, because I thought she might have been playing a joke on us. But, now all I can say is: Really? :confused: Did the flight attendants really have a buffet in JFK the day before Thanksgiving, too? |

Does anybody think that Nick Saban had his worst managed game ever? I would swear he was taking advice from Mark Richt. Mizzou also looks like the real deal. It should be a great SEC Championship game.
