Man vs Food is one of those layover only shows. You're channel surfing and boom, there it is. I saw one once where he was eating some indian food with the challenge that it was the worlds hottest chili sauce curry or something like that...adds new meaning to "burn you twice.":D Another was this place that served pancakes that had to have two boxes of pancake mix in each pancake. What a waste.

Guy Fiore's show, D,D and Ds, is all about really good local food.

The trips I've been flying, is all food out of Bizarre Foods.

Not going to make this a long post by quoting everyone, but by god, quit your whining about non commutable trips! You wanted to be a pilot for a major airline, you knew what that may entail, so live with it. If you don't like your life, bid to equipment that gives you a QOL that you would enjoy!!! Or you can become a CPA, banker, etc that allows you to be at home every night.

I spent a long time on smaller equipment because I got the trips I wanted, when I wanted, and the days off I wanted. Yes, I could have gone to better paying planes, but for me, QOL was more important! AND, I never bid my vacations over holidays because I knew I could get those days off, thus allowing those junior to me to get those vacation days.

Yes, it sucks being junior. But you have not been the only one during a career that things didn't work out to expectations. Others have been in your shoes. And some of those have been junior a lot longer that you will be.

Sounds like you want to mandate that DAL trips begin, from all bases, after 1200 noon, and get back by 1800 hrs. Sorry, aint gonna happen!

And yes, I'm a proud DPA member!

There's also a really good one for finding the best SoCal food trucks near your location. If you have LA layovers check out TruxMap. It shows their menus and reviews.

How dare guys want better trips....:cool:

Basically the old, Don't worry you'll be senior someday idea.....

And yes, how dare just because we live in base, or are senior (remember, we used to be junior... whats seniority for?) we must get the early departures and late arrivals.

Nevermind,,,,,

But, in looking at some of those responses, there is apparently a point in seniority where you do lose all touch with reality.

Indeed. After reading the responses, I get the feeling that the point you're talking about occurs immediately after losing all ability to spell, punctuate, and actually include a subject and predicate between periods.

Sorry. I'm really not a spelling/grammar nazi, but some of the comments on that survey made those Jersey Shore people look smart.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN???? the best POINTS are made with ALL CAPS and you're ABILITY to used excellent GRAMMAR

When will that be? Over 11 years and still not senior. How about the 20+ year guys I'm flying that can barely hold NB domestic CA. When will we be senior someday? I'm guessing not in this lifetime (or at least not before the current mandatory retirement in 11 years @ age 65.

i was trying to figure out if they accidently left the caps lock on or did it on purpose... I think it was on purpose?!


Stupid iPhone. I wrote that ^^^ in all caps but it goes back and makes it lower case. Ruins it.
