Did everyone do their health insurance enrollment? You've got an hour and a half.

It's more complicated than that just napping from 2-6 - you have to factor in crew meals, who's eating when, what are you having, are you having dessert. Flying longhaul is tough!

It seems stressful really.

What if you don't get your 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice for meals?

What if you're trying to rest on 1st break and ole hippy red dress keeps hitting you?

Do you dare try and stand your tray table up vertically as a block? What if she figures out what you did?

Ahh, who cares....used to be really cool here.

I'm just alarmed that nobody has noticed my new avatar. I was, at one time, so proud. Now, not so much.

I'll just go away now....(sounds of TSA-approved shoes, g-string and falsies walking away).....

+1, didn't know that my HSA contributions would stop unless I entered a new amount for the year to be deducted.

Don't know - never happened. I guess that's what the ETP divert airports are for. I mean, we do all that planning, I think not getting one of your choices would be a reason to divert.

As a southie I always hated our pay schedule. This even check thing would be very nice!

Yeah, that little story i put up about the mafia and the 28 year old A line, thats when The Captain and I got our meals at the end of first break and it wasn't one of the three either of us had put down. It made you long for oscarette the 65 year old grouch A line.

My favorite was the A line who said give me only 1 choice and make sure I get it before we start boarding. That was classy.

Nowadays I get my choice of Charleys, Sbarro, chinese, popeyes, wall st over priced deli, wrap place with really yummy breakfast burrito, snarly pascals, mini pizza hut from a hole in the hallway, or assorted coffees from SEA... or dunkin donuts.
