So unaugmented segments aren’t unique to B6.

As for Mint food, everyone should avoid that stuff. Meal prep if at all possible!
Might want to find a better source.

BOS-EDI and BOS-DUB are still unaugmented at DAL, BOS-LIS was until last year.

Huh?

I saw it with my own two eyes and my better half is a BOS-based FA.

It's airplane food. There's nothing inherently wrong with it but its still a heavily salted/high sodium meal.

Years ago I remember I was about to take a bite of ice cream and thinking "It's 4am body clock time, if I was home would I really be shoving ice cream into my face right now?". Since then I've basically stopped eating mint food except for some of the salads or the yogurts for breakfast and pack my own food the rest of the time.

The mint food has taken a dive in the past year. When it fist started it was amazing. Now everything tastes like a salt lick.

None, the timeframe for VILs ended and the union decided not to allow the company to continue doing it

Unhappy Yonited food

Exactly.... United Food sucks compared to what Continental had to offered.
Mint Food use to be quite outstanding but I have seen the decline...

Awesome. Back to commuting to short call as a 10.5 year guy in the most junior base in the most prevalent equipment. But you know Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough to not get fired… and yeah I’ve tried to bid off the left seat 320 twice now with it being cancelled. Work here is now like prison. Eat. Sleep. Workout. Try not to get shanked. Constantly think of ways to escape. I get it… lots of guys got it worse. But as a former LCA here with a decade in… I call uncle and am tapping out.

In the Q&A for the call, Jeff Winters did say they would come to ALPA again for VILs
