I have known Diver Driver for a long time and he would never steal anything.
Those little Toblerone chocolates would taste even better now knowing that it ****ed you off so bad. Mmmmm Toblerone.
But seriously, was a jar of baby food flavored hummus, pita chips and some processed cheese and crackers really so good that you'd really get this bent over it?
Wow. What has this profession come to? There will never be solidarity amongst pilots.

At Piedmont, we have scheduled and unscheduled crew meals. If we work for 6hrs on duty without a 45 min break we receive a meal. Sometimes it is scheduled, sometimes we get delayed and they become unscheduled. In PHL we just go to Au Bon Pain and chose what we want from the selection. LGA's vendor just changed so I'm not familiar with what they are. In CLT they are delivered to the aircraft, normally a sandwich, bag of chips, cookies, M&M's, and an apple.

Oh, and before I was furloughed from TSA, we'd occasionally ask catering for a couple of the explus meals and would sometimes get them. Once management found out we were doing that, they told us not to do it anymore and that those meals weren't for us since we weren't an explus carrier. Pretty awesome.

I think its awesome that we are sitting her debating who gets a better box of thrown together crap. If a box of mystery meat, processed cheese spread, trail mix or a bag of chips and a sandwich the size of your fist are that important to you then maybe you just need to plan ahead for yourself and pack food. Alternatively you could *gasp* crack that wallet open and buy something once in a while. I realize that sometimes time is the issue and that the food in the airport gets boring (an unhealthy!) so packing snacks and stuff are probably your best bet to keep from going hungry.
Well done sir!

Horizon is a yes for meals. It was not hard to get. Once you get a whole group of pilots setting the brake, walking through the terminal, waiting in line, sitting down to eat, washing hands, walking back to the airplane..... The 30 minute turns went out the window.
