clif bars, trail mix (i buy the "traditional" and a heavy cranberry/raisin one, then mix) and the starkist brand flavored tuna packets & crackers.

thus far my favorite is the garlic & herb (not very garlic-y, but that's a good thing considering i've already made the cockpit smell like tuna) but the hickory is pretty good too. the entire package is only ~300 calories, so at least one meal is healthy.

What's the big deal, doesn't Barney (DW), ride the jumpseat from time to time. He could teach Jay a thing or two about bulking up!

Freeze them overnight prior to your trip starting. Nearly all of the motels we stay at have refrigerators in them, so stuff the burros in the mini-freezer overnight. They stay frozen for me through the day. Plus, if your crew lounge is close by, I keep them in the freezer there when I can, too, just to keep them solid for longer periods of time. I've been doing the burritos for about three months now, and they won't thaw completely on me, even in the heat of the summer. Haven't gotten sick off of them either, so that's a good thing!

I personally wouldnt let Barney on my jumpseat. I feel it would be a safety issue, seriously. There is NO WAY he could get out the overhead, and would be lucky to be able to fit thru the main cockpit door....and in an emergency if you had to get out and he was unconscious good luck!!!

It's like that (insert college cheerleader of your choice here) joke. How do you get barney into the cockpit? grease the doorframe and put a twinkie on the glareshield.

If you can spend all of your per-diem and still make ends meet off of flight pay, good on ya. But, those of us pulling in min guarantee on first year FO pay need a little extra cash to throw around to pay the bills. Sad but true.

Back to the main topic, my girlfriend bought me a small hot pot cooker that I bring along with me. It's basically a pot that you plug in that has an electric filament at the bottom. It fits in my bag easily, and I typically bring mac and cheese, tuna, soup, etc. that I can just heat up in the room for a hot meal. Works great!

If I make a few sandwiches, how long will they last in an Ebag?
