At other airlines flight attendants have been fired for taking milk and juice. With the glut we have of FOs I’d be cautions if I were a thirsty FO. Except on the 737. Water for crew is a contractual requirement.

I also don’t feel like having to carry along an extra heavy bottle with a filter because people flying around jets aren’t worthy of a bottle of water at the end of the day. 4 bottles- obnoxious. One? The company needs to pick its battles better. Or just file for bankruptcy? It’s getting embarrassing.
My posts are dripping with sarcasm. Unlike your hotel water bottles.
on a serious note my filtering water bottle is lighter than the United ginormous water bottles on the plane.

Let’s also not forget the days of the listeria outbreak at the Mesa hotel from the water!
On a side note..wonder what ever happened to our troll friend! Perhaps he left for greener pastures?? Or changed his name again? Lol

Sounds like a middle manager making turmoil about a pet peeve catering problem. Take the water you need within reason to be well nourished on the overnight. At UAL, I’ve heard zero concern or even conversation on this. Makes me think it’s internal or below that level. We’ve all got bigger problems if the margins are so close that crew taking a bottle of water is breaking the bank. I’ve not seen email in question, but first thought this was a joke.

When Brad Holt was running ASA/Xjet he tried this water bottle BS on the Xjet side. It didn’t last that long….

Now, your airline is facing a water shortage due to your major’s catering being insufficient. Company asks you not to take water off of plane because there is not enough for the passengers. Can you imagine being a thirsty passenger and being told there is no water? Same passenger who saw you getting off of the aircraft with bottled water?
