Yeah I always heard you guys begging for them on the ops frequencies and they would always tell you that they were for ASA only. You guys and other crews still managed to steal them. Other crews taking our crew meals was a big reason why we lost the good ones and now have the crappy ones, so thanks for that.

Good lord! Very poor choice of words; and way to make friends and influence people. Nobody "stole" your crew meals. The ground crews generously offered them to my crew all the time in ATL. Neither I, nor anyone I flew with, ever asked for one. You might get a better perspective if you get off your high horse, Mr. Regional Airline Pilot (cue Budweiser "Real American Hero" music)

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.

Are you seriously that ignorant? Can't say I'm surprised that this is the caliber of human intellect that the bipolar chief pilot at GoJetS would hire. No wonder it gets so frustrating debating with you. You literally have no idea what's going on.

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.
