It didn't go well. I skipped it the first time they offered it to me. The second time I showed up without a suit on and with a goatee and got in an argument with the chief pilot about it. Got a free flight to STL out of it though.

We didn't get jack in LAX. Had to fork over $8 at CrackDonald's, or $11 for a CPK.
However, if you had a SMF turn and could wait till you got there, you could get a CPK in SMF for $7-8.
But yeah, the Branded food rocked the few times I did it.
I miss being away from COEX.

I stood in line with an fo in atl who told me **** D0, I'm gonna get a sandwich. In my book that's what it's all about. As far as bringing food from home, I don't have anyone in the kitchen and shouldn't have to be my own wife. But ten bucks on a meal at the airport isn't built into my salary.

I never had an issue getting a meal when I was still flying. Oh yeah that's cause the wife worked at Chelsea so she at least told me what to expect. I don't think ACA had crew meals. I took so many delays when I was in ORD ops and the CA would tell us "going to get my crew meal".

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.

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.
